Performance Improvements

For NetBeans 6.10 release the main focus is going to be on:

• improving UI responsiveness and usability of the IDE during scanning (mainly navigation),
• less intrusive detection of external file changes,
• better diagnostics and post-mortem analysis,
• faster debugger stepping.

For more details see the discussion about important performance topics and the approved performance goals.
