2018.3 very slow

Please refer to https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/articles/207241235.

Report at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/IDEA with the CPU snapshot attached.

done, https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-202661

I upgraded to this last week and am also experiencing the same thing.  I have 5 projects open (same as I had before the upgrade).  CPU is pegged at 100% for about 8-10 mins.  It's very laggy to move around in, especially after running all tests in a project.  Also the memory footprint has gone from slightly over 1GB to now about 1.5GB.  If I get time I will try to submit a CPU snapshot.

Most performance problems are unique, you may have a completely different issue, that is why it's better to report them separately as different tickets. Only CPU snapshot can tell if you indeed have the same issue.

@ricardo, please provide the ticket link.

thanks!

Your CPU snapshot was received today, support engineer will investigate it when he's at the office. Please mind the time zones. Most support engineers are in UTC+3 time zone, therefore we didn't have a chance to look at it yet. It may take up to 24h to get a response to the support ticket.

@Serge thanks for your fast reply! 

i downgraded to 2018.3.1 and didn't work

then renamed .idea directory under this project, restart the ide and now is fast again

There were some plugins in my phpstorm. I uninstalled them and it fixed the issue.

I have to downgrade, (2018.1.7) 2018.3.5 is not working at all.

"Not working at all" is not the best problem description, care to share the details? Logs/errors/screenshots?

Sorry, you are right, I should have send more info.

Unfortunately, what is happening is that the IDE stuck trying to load a simple project, don't show nothing more than a blank page. I wait for 5 min before killing the process.

Here are my configurations, and also some screenshots. I installed it with toolbox. How can I share the log file with you?

Os info from log:

I import the settings from anterior version.

Thanks for your attention.

Reset the VM options to the defaults, only adjust -Xmx when needed, do not add or change any other options.

I had the same issue. Issue was resolved by adding -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=1024m in the vmoptions. (It used to be 256)

PhpStorm 2019.2.4 is very slow also. I try yo increase memory setting and didn't work. I uploaded cpu usage. I really don't know why PhpStrom too slow only.
