phpstorm + mac osx problems ?
Hallo,
I'm on a relatively new imac here with 8GB Ram and phpstorm is incredibly slow ie i can wait and watch as the letters i type appear on the screen.
I'm using the 64bit version, and at the bottom its showing 84m of 495m
Any clues / help what i can do to speed it up ??

Hi Keith,
What kind of files are you working with (pure php, heavy php/html mix, js etc)? How big they are? What version of PhpStorm do you have exactly?
In any case devs will need a proper CPU snapshot taken (30 secs or more) -- please follow instructions at http://devnet.jetbrains.net/docs/DOC-192
P.S.
You may want to create a new ticket on Issue Tracker and attach your snapshots there.
A few things:
First, check for any system updates.
Second: Run disk permissions (you can get to that in the Disk Utility).
Third: You said you were running in 64bit? PHPStorms run MUCH better n 32 bit. PHPStorm usually tells you this. Here's how to run it in 32bit.
Shutdown PHPStorm. Find and right click PHPStorm.app (it'll be in the Applications folder - and I'm assuming you have the rights to do this- If you are the only one who uses the machine, you do) . Select Get Info. In the General section (in the center of the windows) there's a check box titled "Open in 32-bit mode" Check it. And run PHPStorm.
If this doesn't work, post here.
Also which Mac are you using?
>> PHPStorms run MUCH better n 32 bit.
Is that really so? Is there any confirmation from PhpStorm developers?
On my system it seems faster. But I remember PHPStorm telling me itself to run it in 32bit mode. But that would've been version 1.
After running PhpStorm for the first time it also sent me a notice regarding to switching to 32-bit mode to reduce memory consumption, not CPU. If I got it right of course.
