Scott,
Sorry to hear about the slowness.
Can you please give us some more details to help us investigate further?
1) Are you seeing the slowness only during Debug? Is the IDE startup and other actions fine?
2) Did you happen to notice anything running in the progress view or progress bar area when you initiated the Debug?
3) Can you get a couple of thread dumps while the debug is slow? That will help us figure out processes are running and possibly taking time. To generate a thread dump please run
jstack -l 9000 > dump1.txt
(replace 9000 by the PID of the MyEclipse process).
4) On another note – recent changes in Windows defender could be affecting the performance of your MyEclipse installation. So, if you have it active, I would also recommend reading the article below and excluding your MyEclipse installation, as well as your workspace and / or directories containing your projects from Windows defender just to ensure it isn’t slowing things down for you:

Apologies for inconvenience caused.
