- winrid 5y agoI have 64gb of ram and Webstorm still freezes for 15+ seconds sometimes. It's not GC, it's not memory, not plugins, just random bugs or filesystem access blocking UI updates etc.
- kaba0 5y agoThat’s just the jetbrains releasing an old runtime (11) with an even older GC and relatively low max heap size. Just simply bumping the heap size up helps, but changing it to G1GC with a lower target pause time and adequate heap size will make it so much smoother. But if you can then change to a newer runtime and use ZGC which has basically no pause whatsoever.
- winrid 5y agoIt's not GC. It's nowhere near using the max memory available to the JVM.
- invalidname 5y agoI wrote plugins for most IDEs including JetBrains. If you hold the EDT they block your plugin. There's no way a core plugin allows that. I'm guessing this is some other bug, did you file an issue with your logs? Did you ask in their developer slack group? They are VERY responsive.
- winrid 5y agoI'll try the slack group, thanks! I read through the logs and they didn't show anything very helpful. Every time I ran profiling tools on it, it never occurred so I haven't created a ticket yet ... :)

- KptMarchewa 5y agoThe unfortunate effect of it being a JVM product is that you need to tune GC and memory setting because defaults are made for people having 8GB of RAM.
- winrid 5y agoI have the limits raised. It's not GC or memory related.
