7- overall the IDE seemed lot faster on start up. Great work! Pretty smooth for plain java projects. I even opened my big RCP application, opening all required projects, a mix of modules and plain java projects, 23 in total without a delay. That took up to a minute before (maybe more). My web project (with dependent plain Java projects) without issues either.
This change will make MANY people happy. This is a huge crowd pleaser!

Subject: [71cat] Background Scanning test - more information
Hello folks,
it's quite encouraging to find out that so many of you are still
open to help with testing. Thanks for that! Here are more details on it.
As you could read in the NewAndNoteworthy72 Wiki page the indexing
infrastructure now uses transactions and prioritizing which has dramatic
impact on usability of the IDE. The project scanning and up-to-date
check do no longer block editor nor navigation. In order to test these
improvements please do the following:
1. Download latest development build [1] of NetBeans IDE 7.2
2. Use JDK 7 Update 2 or latest JDK 6 Update on Macintosh OS X.
3. Already indexed sources test
3.1 Launch IDE with --userdir parameter to point it to your existing
userdir.
3.2 IDE should start and your projects should open normally.
3.3 Make sure that code completion, syntax highlighting, code folding
and source navigation work fine.
4. Initial indexing sources test
4.1 Launch IDE with --userdir parameter to point it to a brand new userdir.
4.2 Do not import settings from previous NetBeans version.
4.3 Open all projects you typically work with.
4.4 Test usability of the IDE during indexing. Navigator should work
immediately for opened files instead of waiting for the entire scan to
be completed.
4.5 Make sure that scope of code completion, syntax highlighting, code
folding and source navigation increases after each transaction (a
scanned source root).
5. Restart after indexing test
5.1 Restart IDE after previous test.
5.2 Modify some library or subproject and verify that the change is
reflected by the IDE.
6. Write down every unexpected behavior or performance degradation and
file obvious defects to Bugzilla. Other findings send to this list.
7. Send your overall opinion about quality and performance once you are
done.

let us know by the end of this week. So, thank you all who find few
hours and join this effort.
Happy testing and good luck Background Scanning! :)
Best regards,
