Oneo f the intellij guys responded a while ago and mentioned that sometimes the long pauses might have something to do with mapped drives. If you have a lot of mapped drives, it takes a while to do something. I'm not exactly sure what the cause would be, but it would be nice to know.
I use clearcase for much of my work, which (in my environment) means tons of mapped drives. Perhaps this is a reason. (although the particular view I'm using is a snapshot view, and Intellij is monitoring files local to the disk).
