I want what you're having.
I've been actually trying DataGrip these past weeks and even though I only used it lightly and I'm on a pretty decent computer, it's terribly sluggish. Is there a magic option to make it run faster?
- smoldesu 6y agoI'm very much in the same boat. VS Code isn't the fastest editor around, but it still runs without putting up a fight on my older machines. I even used it on my x201 from more than a decade ago, which happily darts around VS Code while PyCharm feels really sluggish.
- The_rationalist 6y agoDon't know about datagrip, I was speaking for Idea and webstorm anyway they are mostly the same codebase. You can increase the available ram to intellij in the settings (under the help section if I remember correctly) My old thinkpad was really slow with Idea because my RAM would easily overflow and therefore spam swap usage. The secret sauce is to go for 16GB of ram, any developer deserve it. Also if you feel adventurous, by going to the EAP release channel you will get optimization earlier (at the cost of some rare additional bugs) Also always be up to date by using the jetbrains Toolbox and checking download update automatically. If you turn mitigation=off on your Linux you will get better perf in general at the price of enabling an extremely hard and slow security threat.
- GrayShade 6y agoI already happen to run an EAP and Linux without mitigations (they're less bad on AMD CPUs anyway). I guess I'll try increasing the heap, but I hope it doesn't need 16 GB for itself.
- The_rationalist 6y agoI have allocated 4GB for the idea maximum heap size for reference
- GrayShade 6y agoThanks. It seems that mine defaulted to 2 GB.
