NETBEANS 6.8 RC1 / MACBOOK 5.1 / MAC OSX 10.6 JAVA 64 BIT

I use Netbeans 6.8/php for 2 months whith my remote php project and i must restart the application every 15 minutes, uploads becomes more and more slow.
I can reproduce the problem, just have to work 15 minutes uploading files to server and memory grows (start at about 40M and goes up to 360M ...).
Then the ide is unusable on my MacBook (RAM 2096Mo) !
RC1 didn't resolved my problem.
Netbeans is a very good ide (i like the remote project feature a lot) but you should work on memory optimization.
Excuse me for my poor english

Thank you

English is great, thanks for reporting it

Explicitly mentioned, upload - so reassigned to php/project, but anyway don't hesitate to return back after evaluation

NetBeans IDE 6.8
Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86

FYI,
Same problems with my php/symfony project under Windows XP. I don't use the remote project feature.

Sincerely,

Fabrice

If this happens to you again, could you please create a heap dump? The best to do so is probably using VisualVM [1]. Unfortunately, the file will be too large (even compressed) to be attached to this issue - it would be great if you could provide a link for it.

Also, are there any errors in the Output window after remote file transfer? Or in the IDE log (View > IDE Log)? The most important question - is NetBeans slow even if you do _not_ use remote download/upload?

Just reopen this issue, thanks a lot for your cooperation.
