Okey cool. Good to know.

I talked with the Tycho SAP guys at EclipseCon and the fun part was that
they had no idea what caused those performance improvements ;)

Best guess was that they did improve "is site uptodate" for some cases in p2,
but that didn't seem to explain all of it.

My test runs with tycho 0.19 at eclipsecon didn't show any performance improvements - but
that was on a crappy network.

Have you seen any improvements when building jbosstools components ?
