I'm currently using NetBeans IDE version, wait let me look it up...

<5 minutes later>

Ok, version 3.4.1
Now my problem is that it runs VEEERRRYYY slowly on my computer,
which is strange because i have a 2800+ Athlon with 256 DDR333 ram. I
was wondering if any one else has experienced this as well and if
they found a way to speed it up. Another thing is that it looks like
its built with Swing. Is it, ot is the theme just like that.

I asked my one friend about this and he said that it looks asif it
was ported from Linux. So he says the slowness is due to bad porting,
any other ideas?

And no, I do NOT want any comments on other, better, cheaper IDEs. I
like what I'm using thank you very much, so don't go spamming the
list again on my behalf.
