NB67PerfGoals

NetBeans 6.7 Performance Goals

General performance criteria

  • UI responsiveness: 90% of UI responsiveness tests pass (compared to 85% for 6.5)
  • Startup: no regression against 6.5
  • Memory consumption: max 10% increase

Specific goals

  • 10% cold startup improvement (all setups) due to resource cache optimization.
  • 20% decrease of overall consumption of system resources for users downloading full edition and using only limited functionality (via FitnessForever).

(System resources: permanent memory, consumed heap, CPU cycles during and after start, etc. Limited functionality: only J2SE, or only PHP, or only Ruby.)

  • Go to File with same speed as Go to Type navigation.
  • 2 times faster Find Usages (in average).
