NB 6.7 performance

[Erno Mononen]

Hi folks,

As a follow-up to my reply to Reggie, I want to add that anyone
experiencing any sort of performance problems, e.g. slow code completion
/ navigation / excessive scanning, please take profiler snapshots as per
the instructions below and send them my way (or file issues). Editor
performance is of high priority for 6.8 and also for upcoming 6.7.x
releases.

Here are the instructions again:

Start profiling before invoking the action that seems slow and stop
profiling after the action is finished. Note that you
need to activate the Java Profiler plugin first (in Tools -> Plugins) to
see the profile button.

Please make sure that Enchanced Type Inference in Tools -> Options ->
Misc -> Ruby is off.

Once you have the profiler enabled, it is really easy to take snaphots
for almost anything, and they really helpful in tracking down the culprit.

Thanks in advance,

Erno
