Is there any way to stop the scanning projects?

I can't STAND this "feature". I want to TURN OFF ALL SCANNING. No background scanning, no remote scanning. NO SCANNING!!!! Why isn't this an option in netbeans even after people have been complaining and asking about it since version 6? This is a major reason to use Eclipse instead of Netbeans, for me. To many burned processor cycles doing stuff I don't want it to be doing.
