  I've never experienced a (noticeable) GC pause while working in IntelliJ, despite working on some very large projects. That said, if this is a problem, you can tune the VM's memory options. There's even a "MaxGCPauseMillis" option: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4676604/how-to-improve-intellij-code-editor-speed http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4676604/how-to-improve-in...

    These aren't too uncommon, even with smaller codebases (<1 million SLOC). I've seen it on my Linux box and my Macbook. I tend to leave IntelliJ open for a long time, which may or may not be related. I still love the IDE, but this is my one big gripe. Maybe they'll fix it with the next big platform update.
