'IntelliJ Scala so slow on fast CPU with 32GB ram

I am using IntelliJ 2019.1.3 Community Edition. In Scala compile server, JVM maximum heap size: 4096 my idea.vmoptions:

-Xms4096m
-Xmx6144m
-XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=2048m
-XX:+UseCompressedOops
-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

Environment

  • IntelliJ IDEA 2019.1.3 (Community Edition) Build #IC-191.7479.19, built on May 28, 2019 JRE: 1.8.0_202-release-1483-b58 x86_64 JVM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o macOS 10.14.5

memory indicator shows 2582 used of 6060M

my current project is quite big, ( over 800 files ) and very often even in small files intellij can hang for a few secs, inpections took ages.. Can I speed it up ?



Solution 1:[1]

If this still occurs, you should file a bug; as a user of IntelliJ you should not need to worry about a slow editor.

To investigate the problem further, you can first look in the directory from "Help | Show Log in $FileManager". If there are any subdirectories named threadDumps-*, you can find out what stops the editor from being responsive.

You can find more details in the instructions for reporting performance problems in IDEA.
