This gets a little out of topic, but you might want to know that we
are working hard to improve the response time for Erlide and the plan
is to get a new engine somewhere at the end of the summer. Also, the
completion uses Ctrl-Space instead of tab; you can bind another key
like Tab but that may disable other functionality and you need to do
it for every new workspace.

Regarding Eclipse as a memory and resources hog, I fully agree. It's
far from optimal, but for me the advantages are balancing this. I will
confess that part of these advantages are things that I am planning to
implement, so I am aware that few others have the same attitude :-)

best regards,
Vlad
