PhpStorm 2022.2.1 and CPU usage

Created August 19, 2022 08:57

Hi,

The new update seems to fix the freezing problem, however I'm concerned by the CPU usage which is constantly high, and the IDE doesn't look to be doing anything

There is no indexing operation in progress or anything else in background so I don't understand.

I've provided logs here : https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/requests/4237613

Edit: the CPU usage suddenly dropped to 0 but still I wonder why it was happening

Kind regards

Ali4322abbas , any chance PhpStorm is indexing when you experience the issue? Please refer to this screencast.
If not, please check how it goes after File | Invalidate Caches | Invalidate and Restart.

If the same, please capture a CPU performance snapshot about a minute long while there's a high CPU load and share it together with the logs (Help | Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data) in a support ticket (Help | Contact Support).

Thank you!

I'm having the same issue after a recent update, MacOS activity monitor reports 900%. The entire system becomes unusable even when indexing concludes (Which seems to start from scratch every time I open PhpStorm)

Basically, the indexing operation could significantly load CPU but it should not happen too often. I would suggest to collect log files (Help > Collect Logs) and submit a support ticket or a YouTrack report:
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/newIssue

Also, as mentioned above, CPU snapshot (when no indexing is running) could be quite useful.
