+ <li><b>Performance improvements</b> - the following areas of Carbide have been optimized to improve performance:
<ul>
<li><b>Importing large projects</b> - Importing large projects is one of our primary points of performance improvements. When too many project roots were used the more source and include paths were brought into the project, up to an including entire SDKs. Generally, we found that once a project root contains over 15-20K files Carbide became extremely sluggish. We have improved some edge cases where project roots were calculated incorrectly and now include only what's really needed. </li>
<li><b>Modifying Project Settings and Build Configuration Data</b>- This is quite a significant improvement as modifying MMP files and switching build configurations are a couple of the most common operations done by end-users and because the time spent processing project and configuration data is done on the main thread, locking the UI. With optimization in one CDT function we were able to bring most project-related and configuration switch changes from 20 seconds to less than 3 seconds. You should also see improvements when saving MMP and INF files (the "Refreshing Configuration Job"). </li>
