The 'if you don't want to use it, don't' approach. Whether you like it or not, there will be SOME cost of checking, in IDEA's code. For example, I could choose not to use any of the new fancypants javadoc stuff, yet, when I write a javadoc, I suspect IDEA will still expend some cpu cycles trying to be smart about it, and see if it can fill things in intelligently for me. THAT is what I object to. I'm happy with every single silly suggestions on here being implemented, as long as I can turn it off and write actual code as opposed to marvel at how clever (and slow) my IDE is. _______________________________________________ Eap-features mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.intellij.com/mailman/listinfo/eap-features
