So it's never been the SSDs for me, it's always been paging / memory consumption. When I run Eclipse / JetBrains I set the XmX flags super high on the JVM to compensate, but it still always felt slower. Basically I've found that a lot of Eclipse plugins and core pieces associated with the debugger allocate a lot of heap space that never goes away. However I haven't used Eclipse in about 3 years (or on Java 8), or for Android, so if there's something new I'm missing, your point might be valid.
