How to improve Netbeans performance?

Question

Is there a real way to get Netbeans to load and work faster?

It is too slow and gets worse when you have been coding for some time. It eats all my RAM.

Answer 1

Put your .netbeans Homefolder into a Ramdisk and Netbeans its going to be incredible fast.

I detected on my Ubuntu 16.04 that every Key-Press causes a HDD read or write action. Reason enougth for me to use a Ramdisk. As a little positive side-effect my HDD is quite now (no tickclickrrickrrrticktick any more) and has a longer live.
