Performance tuning for PHPStorm 6.0.2?
Somehow I got a few performance issues since the 6.0 version.
I'm on Ubuntu with 4GB RAM and a Core2Duo@2,33GHz
I'm working on a network share with automount, this seems to be a problem for PHPStorm.
If the share gets unmounted after I didn't do anything in the IDE for a few minutes, PHP starts to reindex all files after the automount remounts the needed directory.
The share gets mounted, when used and unmounted when not used automatically and I have to open a terminal and going to the shared directory to keep the share open all the time.
The terminal gets this done, PHPStorm not :\
Sometimes the CPU load goes to 100% for a while and there is no indexing going on, I have to kill the process and restart PHPStorm to get it to work again.
Also the typing is slow. Most of the time I type a few characters and have to wait that they show up, which is really anoying.
Are there any tuning mechanisms for those kind of problems?

Hi there,
Working directly over network is not officially supported (means: if it works -- then good; if it does not -- sorry then). Yes -- this can cause different kind of "bad"/unexpected behaviour on IDE side as it relies on instant access to source files (that's the architecture used).
The recommended way is to work with a local copy of the project and then setup autosync to automatically deploy (copy) local files to remote (network) location. All of this can be configured at "Settings | Deployment".
