The snapshots are performance snapshots taken when the IDE detects slow behavior. For obvious reasons, slower computers are more likely to trigger the collection (by taking longer than a preset amount of time to complete tasks), which then requires saving the snapshot. The saving process slows the system down even more, occasionally resulting in (for all practical purposes) an inoperable IDE.
Check your
netbeans.confconfiguration file (in theetcfolder). You’ll find a line fornetbeans_default_options. Make sure-J-eadoes not appear in the line. This flag enabled Java assertions, which wouldn’t be a problem in itself but the slowness detector in NetBeans also uses this flag to significantly shorten the timeout before the self-profiler is enabled.
