This is a really interesting discussion.  I use Netbeans on what I
consider a fast system, because Eclipse couldn't keep up.  I wonder if
there are any flame-war-inducing benchmarks we could reference...

Since Netbeans 3, I think it had a really bad rap for performance, but
I think most reviews on Netbeans 6+ have been great.  I haven't had
any issues with Netbeans at all.  I think both IDEs are great, but I
do believe Netbeans does have a better plugin manager.

I think it comes down to what you want.  I've heard eclipse has better
support for build scripts like maven and other complexities.  I use
subversion, the scala plugins, and a basic ant script I wrote in
Netbeans and it does a decent job of compiling, building, running, and
packaging and it works quite well for those requirements (for me).
