WebStorm Freezes and slows down computer on save
Every time I save, my computer slows down massively and webstorm stops working and sometimes becomes not responding for a couple seconds. Attached is my logs folder.

do you have any watchers configured (in the IDE, or outside it) that run and generate files on save? If yes, does excluding the target folders where the generated files are stored from indexing make things any better?
Elena Pogorelova I don't. I've also tried invalidating my cache and restarting. Nothing changes.
Please try disabling Synchronize files on frame activation (Preferences | Appearance & Behavior| System settings) - does it make things any better?
Elena Pogorelova While it might of helped a tiny bit (I can't tell), there is still a considerable lag.
Your dumps mostly show activities related to files synchronization. Plus the issue description (problems on saving, better performance after disabling VFS auto-refresh) suggests that the issue is related to indexing that is started on saving. Are you sure that you have excluded all auto-generated stuff from indexing?
