In currently re-reading the Sil (don't recall which for sure - this is probably about #3, #4 or #5), I'm struck by how often the Valar had to go to war with Melkor, before the Eldar even came around.
Makes me wonder if they were just plain tired of all the strife in later times when evil reared its head - and they don't seem to react to it very strongly.
