Well, there are 2 different things there:

Code analysis and syntax analysis.

Syntax analysis is always done on the fly (and you can't really turn it off
-- the places which require an AST will usually use the AST which is
computed there and when it's computed and there's a syntax error, that
error will be shown). It should usually be computed when a new line is
entered, on a save or after you entered some text and the timeout specified
at preferences > pydev > builders is elapsed.

As for the code analysis (which will check errors and warnings such as
unused imports / unresolved imports / undefined variables, etc.), it has
the options you saw (which are affected by the only on save/on any
successful parse).

Cheers,
