There was recently a very hot thread on nbusers mailing list, discussing performance of upcoming release of NetBeans 6.5. To prove that we really care about voices from community NetBeans team contacted users, that were suffering with performance issues, and were willing to help us identify weak areas.
NetBeans team appreciates such feedback and cooperation from those users. And very big thanks to people, who shared their projects with us! It's really helpful, not all bugs are reproducible in "helloworld" project with a few classes, sometimes is needed huge application with large sourceroots. Whole this action resulted into couple of serious performance bugs, which are being evaluated/fixed.
Two cent's from Core QA Team to this action so far:
...and lot of others (performance unrelated), that would be really hard to reproduce without big projects provided by users.
