Performance stutters and lag in 2024.2 versions
Answered
After updating to any of the 2024.2 versions in macOS, the IDE is constantly stuttering and freezing even in very simple operations. Scrolling through files is jumpy and typing shows very noticeable lag.
Going back to 2024.1 solves all these issues and everything runs buttery smooth.
I have tried the recommended performance tuning to no avail. I mainly use RubyMine, but DataGrip shows the same behavior.
Is anyone else having these problems?

I am having the same problem, using PyCharm (and other JetBrains products). Not experienced anything like this before 2024.2. Using a macBook with Apple M1 Max CPU and 64 GB RAM, macOS 12.7.4 (21H1123). Downgrading helped.
I've also tried “Restore Default Settings” before downgrading, and that did not help.
Hello,
Sorry to hear about your experience. First, please check whether the problem persists in 2024.3 EAP version. If so, then could you please submit your request directly on our trackers:
for RubyMine https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/RUBY
for PyCharm https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/PY
Please provide the following details there:
1. how often and in which circumstances does it occur?
2. please record a CPU snapshot while reproducing the problem
3. attach the whole logs' folder (Help - Collect Logs..)
Thanks Olga! Switching to 2024.3 EAP did improve performance a bit from my experience, but lag is still present, even if not as noticeable.
I will open the ticket just in case it can be of any help to the team.
