NB6 final faster than RC2?

[wmac]

Hello,

NB6 final has become much faster on my PC. Is this the case with you
too? A second time loading on my PC used to take 20 seconds (with ruby
and mobile dev. and C++/C disabled). Now with all modules it takes 7
seconds to load. Menus and editor also seems much faster.

What could be the reason? There has been any major change?

Maybe the final version has less debugging information and it's compiled with all the
optimalizations.

Maybe it's because you start with a fresh user dir?

Strange. I always remove every netbeans directory (after I came to
problem after upgrading from M9 to M10 I always do that).

Does Java have Debug information (the same we have in C & C++)? Or it
might be logging etc. which has been active on development builds?

Anyway the speed is now very acceptable to me. It is almost comparable
to my eclipse.

FCS should certainly load and run slightly faster than a dev build,
because it runs with assertions turned off and class verification
off as well. Class verification can make tens of percent on startup time,
but I don't have quantification of the impact of no assertions on
the runtime performance.

Not really, except the mentioned flags. The difference in warm
start time is most probably really caused by smaller number of
projects opened.
