IDEA 4.0.3 periodically freezing (win2000)
Hello,
I've been an IntelliJ power user for 2 years now. I first noticed this
on my machine
(Win2K, 512 M RAM, 2.4 ghz) whilst using V 3.x. - it seems to be still
there in v4.0.x
In a nutshell, IDEA periodically "freezes". This mainly seems to happen
when I switch
back & forth between IntelliJ and other application windows. I've tried
everything I can
think of - including setting file synchronization to manual mode,
tweaking the idea.LAX
configuration file, etc. - all to no (or minimal) avail.
Is anyone else having this problem? Any thoughts on a solution?
Best Regards.,

When you come to back to Idea frame, Idea synchronizes your files. That's why it's freezing.
The best solution is to disabled this option in Settings > General > the 2nd line
However don't forget to use the synchronize command (ctrlaltY) if you change your files in the back of Idea.

It seems to me that Idea should be able to do this synchronization in a background thread for files that aren't currently open (which should always be synchronized first). That way, the whole IDE wouldn't lock up every time synchronization occurs.
Hi Alexis,
Thanks for your reply. The file synchronisation isn't the problem - I
set that to manual mode.
I figured out that IDEA is constantly garbage collecting. I haven't done
anything to the VM parameters in IDEA.LAX
I guess now it's time to start playing with those.
Anyone have good suggestions for what the VM parameters should be for
maximum performance and minimal
garbage collection?

Modern OSes have mechanism to notify an app that some files changed it is interested in. Why doesn't IDEA make use of it? The cost is only a little OS-dependent code, and a fallback to polling can always exist.
I turned off the auto-sync and IDEA now do not block anymore.
This problem is rather worse when using a ClearCase dynamic view (All the "files" exist in remote server).
