In a larger GWT multi project app and it took me several hours to get the 
new SuperDevMode running (I found this 
video<http://jeff-davis.blogspot.de/2012/07/setting-up-gwt-25s-superdevmode.html>very
 helpful).
Now, I'm a bit disappointed about the coolest new feature of 2.5 and I 
wonder if I have missed something.

   - Compilation is slow. It takes between 1 and 2 minutes plus the 
   bootstrap time of my server app. The app has sth above 20k LOC and heavily 
   uses RequestFactory and GIN code generators, maybe that's the reason? So 
   overall startup performance is worse than with standard DevMode.
   - Code changes require a recompile. In DevMode non-structural changes 
   are applied automatically by the Eclipse Debugger.
   - Debugging the code in the Browser is ... hm, it works. But honestly, 
   nothing compare to a IDE debugger. Browsing through the source tree in 
   Chrome is a pain with thousands of classes.
   - GWT CodeServer is very resource intensive. During compilation, I 
   cannot use my machine for anything else. If it's running it takes more than 
   1GB of RAM.

Is anyone successfully using SuperDevMode for larger apps?
