Let’s hope Zend Studio 9 proves to be a little faster, I haven’t installed the beta yet, don’t have the stomach for it if something goes wrong.

The cloud feature looks like fun though.

Hey guys,

I’ve been a Zend Studio user for many years and I’ve been unable to live without the great features it has.. I’ve never been able to move to another ide for so many reasons, nothing could give me the features that were now an essential part of my coding, but I have to say..

I couldn’t cope with the slow speed of Zend Studio anymore, how much memory it eats, the slow start up times, the slow shut down times, the crashes and the general buggy application it’s become, it was slowing down my development times and making me frustrated..

I’m now using the latest version of Netbeans and it has all of the features I love about Zend Studio and more.. give it a try and give it a chance to prove itself to you, at first you might not think it’s got everything you need but it’s all there and more.. trust me

Just some friendly advice from somebody in the same position as you guys, great article by the way and it did speed up Zend Studio for me after tweaking it.. but it’s still slow and it eats loads of my memory.. netbeans on the other hand uses about 25% of the memory zend studio does.. it loads quickly, shuts down quickly and I don’t get frustrated when I’m coding.. I’ll never look back, happy coding

Thanks for this post. It was a big time saver for me. I cleared the cache, it worked very smoothly.

It works on my ZS 5.1! No more over 100% cpu usage.

Thank very much.

Zend Studio became so slow that was unusable, your tips seem to have worked, thanks a lot for sharing these!!!

Thanks for the tips!
Although the increase in performance is not enough to make me keep using this. Upgraded from 6.0 to 6.1 ….. nothing happened and I got the feeling this is going to stay like this for a while.

It still keeps crashing on me every 10 minutes or so, with the message of not having enough memory to work with.
“Well, I’m sorry if 4 gigs is not enough mr. ZendStudio!”
It is most likely the setup of my computer, cause I see enough people being happy/content with the program. Too bad, the features we’re all good, but no good to me if I can’t use them.

I was quite desperate, since Zend Studio was crashing all the time and used 99% CPU when scrolling

Now scrolling a lot still takes about 25% of my CPU, but everyting works smooth now.

Thanks very much for these tips!
