I'm finding that intellij (latest version) is very slow while editing Kotlin code - it can take 10-20 seconds for the IDE to catch up with syntax highlighting and errors. I'm using it on a 32 core machine with 32GB RAM assigned to Intellij. Anyone have any ideas on why it's so slow? I don't recall this being a problem in the past.

Which kotlin plugin version are you using? 1.4-M1 seems to be a lot faster in the large codebase I work in.

It does suck. But lots of perf issues seem to have been fixed in 1.4-M1 and quite a few more should be released in M2. See https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-37700 for issue reporting instructions.
