Description mrpc 2015-05-17 02:36:11 UTC

Build: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201505120001)
VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM, 25.31-b07, Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment, 1.8.0_31-b13
OS: Windows 8.1

User Comments:
mrpc: I don't know what happened. I did some git operations (pulling, tagging, merging etc) on two relatively large php projects, and my pc started slowing down. I think it happened during the scanning for changes. 
At some point the only thing I could do was to just close netbeans.
However, performance toolbar was showing me that there wasn't that much memory used (arround 500 MB).  I opened windows task manager and at this point java was eating around 80% of my cpu.
I wish I could provide some more useful information.

There is a lot of PHP related classes on the top of the heap histogram. There is also more than 100 php files opened. RepositoryUpdater thread is also scanning large (1.3M) html file. Reassigning to PHP for further evaluation.

Reassigning to PHP editor, please evaluate. Thanks.

Please update you desktop icon (and Start menu item) for NetBeans to point to
the netbeans64.exe and not netbeans.exe, this should help.

Thanks.
