10/02/2023, 11:47 PMImproving those things (CPU, memory) aren’t our primary goals for this work - it’s mainly to help our devs be more productive with building complex UI with a more modern UI toolkit, and it helps a lot ofc that the same org also works on Jetpack Compose. But if performance does get significantly better, even more reason to migrate more of the IDE in the future. At a minimum it should not regress from the Swing implementations.
