Eclipse - Content Assist Tip

Hi guys, if you develop java or android applications and you own a fast pc you may encounter the same problem with Eclipse which made me go nuts!!!
Content assist takes a looong time to load. This is because of the content assist triggering timeout which is set on 200 millis by default. Thanx to my friend Fabio I finally got the solution.
You just have to go to Window - Preferences - Java - Editor - Content Assist and set a higher value for the Auto activation delay property (For me 400 millis is the right choice)
By the way, while you are on that window preference page you may choose under the Insertion property the Insertion overwrites mode.
Let me know if this was useful!!
Cheers
