Remedies for a slow Eclipse?

At work we are using Eclipse 3.1 and often it can be very sluggish.  What I mean by this is it will be working perfectly for a bit and then suddenly it will freeze in the middle of anything like typing in code.  After a few moments, the process comes back and everything I just typed while it was frozen begins to slowly appear.

I am running on a P4 1.8Ghz with 1GB of RAM.  I use the following to run Eclipse (oh yeah Windows 2000 OS) 
D:\eclipse\eclipse.exe -data D:\eclipseworkspace -vm "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_02\bin\javaw" -vmargs -Xms64M -Xmx512M -Xverify:none

Anything I can do to stop this from happening?  Eclipse is pretty intensive program, it's currently at 203K memory usage.  I have tried running Eclipse and nothing else (no web browser, IM, etc) yet it still happens.
