Re: Is there any way to stop the scanning projects?

I have an experience that at first time when I create a big Java project 
from source the background scanning does not take long time. But after 
some weeks using the IDE becomes very slow. It takes a lot of time to 
startup and the background scanning is starting longer and longer. It 
looks like there is the performance degradation.

In my case it may relate not only to Java projects. Usually I build Open 
JDK and adds it as a Java platform. So every time I rebuild the JDK the 
scanning process starts. And after a several week it becomes very slow.

And just a naive question. When I edit Java files in IDE  it is fine 
that these files are scanned.  If I know that I never change java files 
outside IDE why it is not possible just to switch off the scanning files 
which just possibly can be modified outside.

Thanks,
Alexandr.
