title: Is there a way to make system responsive while NetBeans is unpacking the index for Sonatype repository?
body: <p>All the developers in my team here have the same problem - when NetBeans is unpacking the index for Sonatype Repository the system becomes very, very slow. I hope that there is some parameter somewhere so we can reduce the priority of that process in order to make it "behave"?</p>
  
  <p>UPDATE: Thanks to @sashoalm for reminding me about the disk I/O. I have noticed that the process does lots of disk I/O and that probably makes the system unresponsive.</p>
  
  <p>It has a nasty habit of starting at the worst possible time, so we had to turn it off…</p>
