Yeah, I figured I was spending 80% of my day using IDEA, so I might as well optimize my environment for it. There are some costs associated with writing software, and one of them is having a fast machine. > can i place the order on dell.com and you pick up the tab? If you are developing software for money, then hopefully your company (or client or whatever) would want to buy you a fast machine to make you more productive. If you are developing software for fun, then it's obviously harder to justify buying new hardware. (But on the bright side, at least you aren't making films as a hobby. That would be really expensive... :) If you are developing software for fun, perhaps you need to make a choice between buying a new computer or reverting to an older EAP or the 2.6 release version. I certainly wouldn't want to go back now that I'm used to all the great recent features, but at least you'd be able to type... > i know you're half kidding about this suggestion.

It can't refactor code that isn't there. Well that's true. I guess if it's too slow to type anything, it's not worth much. Luckilly, the beta cycle is nearing an end (supposedly), so we should start seeing performance improvements soonish. _______________________________________________ Eap-features mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.jetbrains.com/mailman/listinfo/eap-features
