SuperDevMode not so super

In a larger GWT multi project app and it took me several hours to get the new SuperDevMode running (I found this video very helpful).

Now, I'm a bit disappointed about the coolest new feature of 2.5 and I wonder if I have missed something.

• Compilation is slow. It takes between 1 and 2 minutes plus the bootstrap time of my server app. The app has sth above 20k LOC and heavily uses RequestFactory and GIN code generators, maybe that's the reason? So overall startup performance is worse than with standard DevMode.
• Code changes require a recompile. In DevMode non-structural changes are applied automatically by the Eclipse Debugger.
• Debugging the code in the Browser is ... hm, it works. But honestly, nothing compare to a IDE debugger. Browsing through the source tree in Chrome is a pain with thousands of classes.
• GWT CodeServer is very resource intensive. During compilation, I cannot use my machine for anything else. If it's running it takes more than 1GB of RAM.

Is anyone successfully using SuperDevMode for larger apps?
