ColdFusion Builder is slow, but who cares

I've been shitting bricks with CFBuilder today. I know the guys are working on bug fixes and improving performance, but I'm still ranting!

I'm using ColdFusion Builder 2

Anyway, here's a list of things I've done to try improve performance...
Most these settings are under Preferences, to get there: Window > Preferences

1. Disable Syntax Checking
   Goto: ColdFusion > Profiles > Editor > Syntax Checking
   Untick everything! You don't really need this, I'm sure you can check your own syntax
2. Disable Code Assist
   Goto: ColdFusion > Profiles > Editor > Code Assist
   Untick Automatically Display Code Assist When Typing & Automatically Display SQL Code Assist When Typing. Optional to untick others, I've also Unticked Filter & Auto-Insertion options, not really sure if it makes that big impact. I just got annoyed and when on an unticking spree...
3. Show Progress View
   Goto: Window > Show View > Other (Alt + Shift + Q, Q)
   This view lets you see what the hell CFBuilder is doing, you may have some third party plugins that may be running all the time, anyway this is a debugging thing to try diagnose any issues
4. Filter Outline View
   Goto: ColdFusion > Profiles > Editor > Outline
   Check Show selected tags this way it'll load quicker-ish

Hopefully this helps you, but let me know if there's any other settings that help

End of the day, it's my fault for having a file containing 41,000 lines of code.
