Observed increase in speed when not using Chrome browser
So, as many people I have seen have done, they search for ways to increase the speed of IntelliJIdea because it seems to run very slowly.
I am doing a course on Udemy, and have Chrome and InteliJIdea open, and I was noticing a super slow down on compile if I was in an active Chrome window, and even when I just have Chrome open.
So as a test I closed Udemy in Chrome and opening it in FireFox, and my slow down was decreased significantly..
I am Running Linux Mint
Chrome version: Version 91.0.4472.114 (Official Build) (64-bit)
JDK Version :
openjdk 16.0.1 2021-04-20
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 16.0.1+9-Ubuntu-120.04)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 16.0.1+9-Ubuntu-120.04, mixed mode, sharing)
Any other info you would like let me know, not sure if this forum is moderated and gets to support, but if it does it may be something to look into.

N3050 is the low-end dual-core SoC for notebooks, which has been presented in April 2015.
I am afraid it does not have enough resources to run modern programs fast. Moreover, if we are speaking about such resourceful processes like source code compilation.
I appreciate the thought on that, but that makes no real sense. Otherwise what did programmers use in April of 2015 to compile code?
I do understand what you are trying to say though, but I also have found that Firefox also was causing the same issue, except in FireFox I am able to configure it memory usage and have tweaked it so that it is not as bad.
Because of this I would say perhaps I need to upgrade the memory, more than the CPU.
here is the setting on FireFox:
Unfortunately Chrome does not have this type of thing, so I could not tweak it the same way.
Now keep in mind I must be actively doing something in the browser, such as in my current case doing an online class on Udemy, so I have found if I pause the video, then IntelliJ runs fairly quickly, and if I have the browser closed even faster.
Hi Chris N Bertram i'm facing the same conclusions here with IJ 2024.1 Ultimate on Win 10; Did you find some sort of solution ?
