sorry, do not understand your comment
Sorry, it does seem a little cryptic, doesn't it ? In short, finding all references to a symbol requires to process all {sources, classes} in a project. If done by brutal force, you would have to wait a dozen of minutes each time you invoke the operation. The obvious solution is to somehow cache the information extracted from java classes and reuse it later. That's what's encrypted in issue #17824.
