Recently IntelliJ has gotten very laggy, long pauses, etc.

On my Mac, when I run Activity Monitor, I can see IntelliJ chewing up CPU for some reasons that are not clear. A lot of CPU.

In IntelliJ, I am just trying to edit my code, but it becomes unbearable because typing, scrolling, anything trivial becomes so laggy I cannot work.

Restarting IntelliJ helps for a while, but then the problem is back shortly. What could be going on?

  1. Garbage Collection?
  2. Some other background process?
  3. Scala?

I have autobuild turned off.

  • As an aside, someone told me to edit custom properties and add the experimental setting editor.zero.latency.typing=true and this seems to have helped. – Eric Kolotyluk Jun 28 '17 at 15:58
