Is there a way I can uninstall Mylyn from Eclipse PDT. It comes pre-installed and I don't think I am going to use it. So I want to take all the additional plugins out of my eclipse copy as my IDE is already running sluggishly.

When Mylyn is not being used (i.e., no Mylyn views open and no active task) it should not effect performance in any way. If it is causing you performance problems please file a bug, as:
The Mylyn team considers any speed or memory performance overhead from Mylyn to be a critical bug. Please file a bug report: http://eclipse.org/mylyn/support/
If you want to speedup your startup without uninstalling Mylyn, since uninstalling plugins in Eclipse can be tedious, open Window -> Preferences -> General -> Startup and Shutdown and uncheck the Mylyn features.
