PHPStorm and Magento 2 laggy and slow

Been having issues with Magento 2 and PHPStorm for a while now. Using the latest 2018.1 release on Mac OS 10.13.4.

Often CPU usage would sky rocket and everything just comes to a halt. The only way I can really use it is in power saving mode but definitely not ideal.

Anyone else having similar issues or know of a way to resolve this?

See: https://cl.ly/041W2F1T0f2z/Image%202018-04-10%20at%2010.12.18.png

Thanks in advance :)

Hi there,

Every performance issue can be machine specific .. and can be caused by other factors (e.g. old graphic drivers (especially for HiDPI screens) on High Sierra etc -- see this thread for some info: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115000693290-Extreme-lag-and-high-CPU-usage-on-OSX-High-Sierra)

I would suggest to:

  1. Collect needed performance info (CPU snapshots / thread dumps) -- Reporting performance problems – IntelliJ Platform-based IDEs Support
  2. Use "Submit a Request" link at the top of the page to submit support ticket where you can attach your logs and other files privately.

I agree with Chris.  PHP Storm 2018.1 is now much slower than version 2018.  It's not clear why it happens, but while I am typing or moving my mouse, PHP Storm becomes sluggish or completely freezes for a while before it recovers.  The CPU usage does shoot up until it recovers.

I ended up increasing memory (Xmx) to 3072, invalidate caches / restart and turned off spell check. Seems to be more responsive now and havn't had an issue in the last few days.
