How to speed up JetBrains products?

Question

phpstorm

Yesterday PhpStorm opened a project not made in JetBrains products. The project is not small and ide hashed it for a long time. And after this hashing, for about an hour it worked just wonderfully (I mean the speed of the ide). But after that, she began to work more slowly and even the auto-complete did not have time to turn on. I decided to figure out what this was all about and got into Google, where I found articles that talked about reducing the size of "some hash". And if you reduce it like that, then it starts to work faster. But there is all the description for the old versions and I could not find the same settings for myself.

In general, the question is - how to make the ide always work the way it did in the first hour after starting work on an already grown project?

Answer 1

Usually such problems arise when the machine is allocated little memory, which naturally eats up after a while. To check if this is the case, do:
If the brakes have disappeared after that, then do the following:
-Xms128m
-XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=64m
-XX:+UseCodeCacheFlushing
-XX:+UseCompressedOops
Xms - minimum section of used RAM for the heap
Xmx - maximum section of used RAM for the heap
The remaining parameters are used for various optimizations and, in order not to misrepresent, I send to the original sources.

PS
And yes, using SSD in large projects is the only solution for fast indexing.

Answer 2

SSD works wonders, to be honest :)

Answer 3

Brotan, down there on the right, there is an uncle in a hat - an inspector.
By turning off unnecessary checks, the speed of work will increase significantly

Answer 4

2 options:
Or run on hardware with an ssd and a normal amount of RAM
Or rewrite the brains to something faster than a toad)
