我有一个非常缓慢的启动和堆问题类似的问题，增加虚拟机并没有产生巨大的差异，只是延迟了不可避免的，对我的修复是通过文件> InvalidateCaches/重启使缓存无效。

我也遇到过类似的问题。 在这种情况下，它就是Subversion插件。(Mac Mavericks, SVN版本1.7.10) 一旦我禁用了这个IntelliJ就可以再次使用了。

从jstack获取:

根据我的经验，IntelliJ版本13明显比12版本慢。有几种方法可以加快速度，比如增加intelliJ的VM选项。如。我正在使用一个maven项目，为此我将运行器和导入器选项增加到4GB。它让事情变得比以前快多了。

增加编译器的堆大小。默认值是700m，随着插件数量的增加，这个值太小了。

在v2019.1中，它位于这里:

设置->构建，执行，部署->编译器->构建进程堆大小(Mbytes)

在我放了4000之后，它解决了我的大部分性能问题。

以下选项的最佳体验(idea64.exe.vmoptions):

    -server
    -Xms1g
    -Xmx3g
    -Xss16m
    -XX:NewRatio=3

    -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=240m
    -XX:+UseCompressedOops
    -XX:SoftRefLRUPolicyMSPerMB=50

    -XX:ParallelGCThreads=4
    -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC
    -XX:ConcGCThreads=4

    -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled
    -XX:+CMSParallelRemarkEnabled
    -XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=65
    -XX:+CMSScavengeBeforeRemark
    -XX:+UseCMSInitiatingOccupancyOnly

    -XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=1
    -XX:SurvivorRatio=8
    -XX:+UseCodeCacheFlushing
    -XX:+AggressiveOpts
    -XX:-TraceClassUnloading
    -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch
    -XX:+TieredCompilation

    -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
    -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false
    -Djsse.enableSNIExtension=true
    -ea

我的特殊情况(Mac)是我编辑信息。Plist使用Java 1.7*(不管什么原因)，它运行起来像一条狗。

改回1.6*，安装java 1.6，速度很快。
