CVS on NetBeans-5 very slow?

Hi,

I've installed CVSNT on my local machine.
All the command line based operations (eg. checkout, commit) are very
fast.
However, after I moved to NetBeans-5, I got serious trouble.
All the CVS operations in NB5 take a very long time to finish.
Is there anything wrong with NetBeans? How could I configure the system
to make it faster? BTW, my machine has 1GB memory.

Thanks a lot
Roy

well, i, had the same problem on WindowsXP with SP2, but with Eclipse;
turning off Windows firewall helped.

Thank you very much. I finally figured out the reason.
It is because NetBeans is using its own CVS client to perform these
operaiton, which is very slow.
After changing the cvs client to CVSNT's .exe, all the operations
become fast.

Simply speaking, to connect cvs via :local:
1. install CVSNT and setup you local repositories in its GUI: open
CVSNT con
trol panel, select Repositories
2. start CVSNT locking service
3. in control panel, set CVS_EXE environment variable to point to CVSNT
exec
utable, e.g. C:\utils\CVSNT\cvs.exe
4. in Netbeans, use :local:/your_path_to_repository
