Reassigning to java. It's feasible, it needs to be prototyped. During the initial scan the most load is on the IO, it needs to be measured if adding another core into the game will improve the scanning or it will cause IO contention and will slow down the scan process. This is still valid request. Project scanning still only happens in a single thread. I/O is not a bottleneck here - I have most files cached and there are barely few reads coming from NetBeans. Could this be considered for 7.next please? Another task which takes an inordinate amount of time is code-formatting. This is even more apparent when running on weaker devices like laptops. Code formatting uses 15% of the CPU (1 out of 8 cores running at 100%) and takes 3-5 seconds on average even for relatively small files. I think we should convert this into an umbrella issue and evaluate which tasks are best suited for parallelization. |
