[68cat][code] Code Hints activation appears to take full control

[esmithbss]

I'm seeing this in Ruby and haven't noticed it as much in Java (although
it probably is there), but has anyone else encountered the following in
any language:

When I am typing, as I type through a dotted notation item, when I hit
the period key and continue typing, NB launches the code completion/hint
system and "hangs" for about 2 or 3 seconds as if launching the code
completion/hint system takes all the processing power of NB and NB has
to stop everything else while it gets the new component started.

If I remember correctly, there is a setting that I can use to change the
delay it takes before the code completion system is automatically
started, but when I am typing at my normal speed, I type between 5 and 8
characters a second which would indicate that I need to keep this value
somewhere above .2 seconds to be able to just type straight through, and
the default (which I haven't changed) should be somewhere around .5
seconds or higher.

I believe that I am also seeing the same thing with Groovy.  It is hard to be sure because it isn't happening at each time code completion could occur.

Thank you for the response Daniel.  I didn't think I was the only person
hitting this issue.  I'm pretty sure it's a simple as a synchronous call
that should be asynchronous, an IPC issue with threading, or something
similar.  At this point it's an annoyance, but IMO I would like to see
this cleaned up before NB 6.8 is golden.

I think you might be running into
http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=174627 (the summary may
be a bit misleading, but if you check all the comments in the issue
you'll see it's about code completion too).

I think this is at the heart of a number of code completion issues.  I  
cannot think of any reason that the index manager should re writing  
back while it is reading the index (as this indicates).
