I hope you didn't run the stopwach and test it. As I mentioned in the post, its quicker if you have a shortcut icon on the quicklaunch. But switching workspace does the same thing, Saves workspace Restarts Eclipse with the selected workspace. There is nothing which would make this process slower.

Saves workspace
Restarts Eclipse with the selected workspace.

I am not sure what you are meaning by "apply changes" I have never installed the plugin using update site, i am not sure if there an option there to apply changes. However if you install eclipse plugins by copying it to the eclipse plugins folder/or if you use the links concept, the only way to apply the changes is to restart eclipse. Please Do correct me if I am wrong. John are you suggesting that its possible to activate the plugin without restarting eclipse. I am not sure what you are meaning by “apply changes”

This is just wrong, you can apply changes to install the new plugins. Which might or might not work depending on the plugin, since it's hard to write a fully dynamic enabled plugin. quote: “If you install new plugins when the IDE is active/open, the new plugin functionality is not activated until you restart Eclipse.” This is just wrong, you can apply changes to install the new plugins.
