Dude that's like saying I hope buying a BMW will make me a better driver, but you don't test drive the BMW first to find out if it does.
And I would doubt it if you drove front-drive cars in the past. But the BMW might train your reflexes when driving on wet or snowy streets and have DSC off.
Sure, I agree. But I think that one same driver can ride faster with BMW than with some slower car. And I hope JetBrains test IDEA before including JRE 1.5 to IDEA bundle.
...Scalability and Performance The 1.5 release promises improvements in scalability and performance with a new emphasis on startup time and memory footprint to make it easier to deploy applications running at top speed. Performance ergonomics are built in and a more powerful profiling API will be available from JSR 163...
Kidding aside, I don't think JetBrains guys will bundle jre 1.5 anytime soon. IDEA can't even compile using 1.5 right now, but I hope this will be possible on a later (post-4.0) release.
Why do you care about what is bundled as IDEA's runtime environment?
Tom
Nothing matter... I suppose that IDEA on JRE 1.5 will have better
performance.

How you suppose to know, when it is not released yet?
Tom
I hope better performance of swing applications include IDEA.

What's wrong with IDEA's performance? On my machine (2.6 Ghz, 1 GB RAM) it works fast.

I think the answer is no, because Idea 4.0 will be released before jre 1.5. They will probably support it in a minor release.

PS: I don't care to make flamewar in this thread.

What doesn't work fast on your machine?

Do you mean this will be possible on IDEA 5.0? Or on IDEA 4.x?
