Currently the default value for auto activation delay is 200 (ms),
IMHO, it's too long, it makes me happier when I changed it to 100.
seems eclipse is really not that slow.

Maybe you guys, I mean eclipse developers can track the content
assist to get an average delay, I believe its smaller than 200ms :P

Thanks

>IMHO, it's too long
That's why it is a preference ;-)

A smaller value could interfere with typing. We won't change that default.

We had another round of discussion and decided to try out removing the delay entirely. Let's see whether someone complains or not.

Rational behind our decision: those people who type '.' and expect content assist to appear currently always have to wait. The other group of people will mostly not use the feature at all, and can disable it if they want.

Thanks a bunch Dani, this will definitely help Eclipse in the discussion that the code completion is faster in other IDEs.
