07/04/2019, 1:58 PMHow can I diagnose performance issues with intellij? I've got a 7th gen i7 and 32gb ram and a pretty fast ssd, but I often find the ide very slow to respond in my android project. I've tried increasing the xmx memory to 5g and the ide memory to 5g too as well as turning off almost all plugins. None of these changes seem to have made much of an impact

- several second delays in registering keypresses
- several second delays in autocomplete popup
- several second delays before I can alt+enter for import
