This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Partially the XML CC slowness reports are caused by silent download of a remote schema. If a remote schema is needed, and is not cached, the user should be asked whether to download such schema. If denied, the IDE should not attempt to acquire the resource in the future. This should be part of a larger 'retriever' overhaul, since the list of downloaded (or blocked) resources should be somehow accessible and managed by the user.
