Question

At the moment, I am running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a Pentium D 3.0ghz with 1.5GB of RAM. Netbeans 8 is really slow. My question is: Would 4GB of DDR2 RAM speed Netbeans up?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Very likely yes. Though you should be able to see in some system monitor if it the problem in your setup is CPU or memory or I/O or some mix of these. There were some performance tweaks in https://performance.netbeans.org/howto/jvmswitches/index.html or http://wiki.netbeans.org/NetBeansUserFAQ#Performance - while some of them are out of date you can get the idea
