title: IntelliJ 14.1 is too slow when I import a Maven project
body: <p>If I import a Maven project (Import Project > choose the main pom.xml file > check Import Maven projects automatically > Next ...):</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>in <strong>IntelliJ IDEA 14.1 Ultimate Edition</strong> it takes about 5 hours until is ready.</li>
  <li>in <strong>IntelliJ IDEA 14.0.3 Ultimate Edition</strong> it was about 20 times faster.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>During the processing, if I maximize a popup it looks like:
  <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/tERZx.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>The modules (folders) in the Project area are shown only at the end (only the files from the main directory are shown during the "resolving" - in this case immediately).</p>
  
  <p>The jar files are already in the .m2 folder, so the problem is not related to the time for downloading those jars.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a "hidden" setting needed to improve the performance? (a check box, a command, etc.)</p>
  
  <p><strong>Details</strong>:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Windows 7 </li>
  <li>Java 7</li>
  <li>Apache Maven 3.2.1</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><strong>Edit</strong>:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>JDK, Maven, .m2, IntelliJ IDEA and the project sources are on the same drive</li>

  <p>regarding IntelliJ IDEA 14.1 and probably it is faster but (at least for me) not using the default settings.</p></li>
