NB68PerfPlan
Plan for NB 6.8 Performance improvements
This is an implementation plan for performance improvements targeted for NetBeans 6.8 release. It covers work done by the performance team and also many important issues solved by other teams. Still, this is not all performance work being done for 6.8 (e.g. fixing reported performance bugs is not included).
For an overview of what has been considered see the list of performance topics.

August 3
August 17
- File:NB67PerfPlan/yes.png ShortcutsFolder is too eager
- File:NB67PerfPlan/yes.png Jarda: FoD FileSystem Always On But Behind Real Ones

- File:NB67PerfPlan/yes.png Dan Prusa: Debug (run in debugger) and Attach debugger.

- File:NB67PerfPlan/yes.png Tomas Z.: Go to Type (access to index even during scanning, remove "BIG" lock held by indexing infrastructure even when not needed).
