[030512]I used the a netbeans debugger to trace java source. After few minutes when the debugger has been stopped the netbeans IDE was very slow. I had to restart IDE. This is probably problem of "Package List Loader" thread. The thread is allways in runnable state and on stacktrace is huge recursion in at org.netbeans.modules.debugger.support.util.Utils.processPackage(Utils.java:400)

this line looks OK. I plan to change this functionality to nb40. There is definitly some performance problem, but I do not think that its P2.
At least P3 problem when user must restart IDE.
I can not reproduce it on Win. Looks like you have some recursive link on you filesystem.
recursive link probably existed
