Is there some way to optimize the Netbeans IDE for PHP (and Symfony)? It’s very good with code hinting, debugging etc, but the downside is that while writing code, the disk works intensively all the time which is disturbing and besides the editor slows down slightly because of the code hinting. I have 8GB memory, so it would be quite sufficient for all Netbeans needs. I mean, is it possible to somehow limit the disk usage but without limiting the code hinting? E,g, make it load all code hints to memory.

    Here is a workaround which solves the problematic symptoms, i.e. the NetBeans editor now works without small delays from code hinting and the disk is quiet. I installed RAMDisk with 500MB capacity. Then I moved the .netbeans folder with user files to this RAMDisk, as described in wiki.netbeans.org/FaqWhatIsUserdir. Just FYI, moving the project folder itself made no difference, only .netbeans folder was necessary to move.
