As with the majority of consumer PCs, the first thing to do is replace the hard
disk with something that actually has some throughput. For laptops, the Hitachi
Travelstar is a great deal because it comes with cloning software and a USB
drive case to put the old drive in so that you can use it for extra storage.
You need something at 7200 RPM, not 5400 or the ridiculous 4800 RPM that many
mid to entry level laptops are sold with.
The 1GB of RAM is also part of the problem. Look at the Windows task manager to
see how much memory you have available, and how much Netbeans is using. Also,
expanding the heap size of netbeans by reconfiguring the command line parameters
to use more heap and the more advanced GC is also a good thing.
