Like everything, IntelliJ got increasingly bloated, at a faster rate than the progress in CPU performance.
I've got a desktop machine from around 2010 with 32-bit OS, Core i5 760 (510 / 1611 point in geekbench single/multithreaded) and 4 Gb RAM, runs my current Java code in IntelliJ from those times at blazing speed. Modify a line of code and run in debug, it's up an running in less than a second.
Same code on a 2018-ish laptop, 64-bit OS, 16 Gb RAM, i7 6700 HQ (798 / 3073 in geekbench) and latest IntelliJ takes up to 10 seconds to start.
It's not "Java", it's bloat.
