Home page for NetBeans 6.5 performance

Introduction

Release 6.1 is over and that means our performance improvements made for it are becoming history. See the 6.1 fitness page if interested in the 6.1 performance effort. However as the performance work is almost never over, as there is still a lot of things to improve, it is time to look at the new beginning. This is the entrance page to the world of scalability, stability, UI responsiveness, memory leaks and other performance fixes for release 6.5.
