I started to notice something very annoying with PhpStorm lately. Whenever I type code, the CPU usage goes through the roof, like 300% CPU usage. It seems like something goes wrong with one of the processes that starts when I type, like their auto-complete engine.
I had this issue once before and it turned out to be caused by Dropbox. I was editing some code stored in Dropbox and since PhpStorm saves on every keystroke, Dropbox got triggered and started compressing/encrypting my data. However, this time I don't have any Cloud service running and if I check Activity Monitor, it's the PhpStorm process that has the high CPU usage.
Does anyone have any idea what this could be? I'm not running any weird plugins, just stock + the .ignore plugin. My projects all have Git version control configured in PhpStorm.
Already tried reinstalling PhpStorm, unfortunately, this didn't work.
Environment info:
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
macOS Siera 10.12.5
PhpStorm 2017.2.3 build #PS-172.4155.25
java version "1.8.0_101"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_101-b13)

I have a MacBook pro(mid-2012)with following configuration(8GB RAM, MacOS Sierra, and 512 GB HDD). I updated my Xcode version from 8.2 to 8.2.1. After updating to that version system not responding properly (till 8.2 it works properly), I have to wait 5 or more minutes for one click. So please help me on that to fix that issue. For that performance issue,
Note: I reinstall MacOS twice but getting the same performance issue again and again when I open Xcode before that it works properly.
Steps to Reproduce:
Open Xcode with any existing project and open simulator from Xcode developer tools then you will see that system is not responding properly.
Expected Results:
If it will work till 8.2 then it will also work in Xcode 8.2.1 in MacBook pro
Following is my system configuration and activity monitor results.
CPU Usage

after xcode and simulator both starts cpu usage in activity monitor
CPU usage when both are running.
Check your "Activity Monitor" Mac App, monitor which tasks are taking more memory (%CPU). Try to force quit unused apps / tasks. And try again.
Finder -> Applications -> Activity Monitor
I have a macbook pro(middle-2012) in my home, and I can not use it to write the code any more, because it is too slow, I promise, if you replace a newer macbook pro, I think the issue will not comes.
In my company, I use the company's Macbook pro(2015) or Mac Mini(2014 late), with Xcode 8.2.1.
These there will not get slow, improve the configuration of your hardware.
I decided to update Windows 8 to 8.1 over the weekend. However after the 4GB download and the 1 hour install procedure, it reverts back to 8 and gives me a message saying that it could not be done.
(the computer works fine still, but in 8.0)
Is this a known issue? How can i find out what the actual reason is? (event viewer was useless)
edited to add:
In this case, the system is a fairly fresh install (2 months and very little use) and has all updates applied. System spec is an i7 920 running stock speed, 2x geforce 260 in SLI, 6GB DDR3.
Your system may be changed in the way that updater fails to recognize some parameters needed.
You may use sfc /scannow to set your OS to the initial state and try updating, but i would recommend to reinstall it completely instead of updating
I've got MacBook Pro 2011, 15" i7 2GHz 8GB Ram 1333 MHz OS X Lion 10.7.2 all updates installed released to this date.
I have done everything what I can to minimize RAM consumpsion and the only problem I've got at this point is when I run Xcode. I had 4gigs of RAM, than bought 8 gigs and always 've got 10-30 MB of free memory after 3-5 minutes of Xcode running and PAGE INS are 300MB - 700MB. I tried to switch to 32-bit running mode but no change. Can anybody help me please?
Yes. One way is to disable indexing, another is to reduce the number of build processes. These are hidden preferences in Xcode 4 which I have detailed here:
Hidden Features of Xcode 4
I've also made a pretty extensive write up for improving and working with Xcode's resource issues:
Why are xcodebuild and Xcode 4.2 so slow?
So after deciding to install Xcode 4 on my '09 mac mini because of how useful its instruments feature is (opengl stuff), it turns out that my mac mini only barely manages to run it.
In other words, it's crippled. I'm still here waiting for my program to run on the iPhone, and it's stuck with some "NSAutoreleaseNoPool" message.
The thing is, normally I would ask on how to fix that message, but currently XCode itself is frozen and not responding to anything.
Will upgrading from this old mac mini (it only has 1GB ram) alleviate this issue? Would the new mac mini with a 4GB ram upgrade suffice? IIRC it's core 2 duo 2.25ghz as opposed to my current 1.83ghz, would that make enough difference?
edit: not to mention, indexing cripples the performance to an extreme level
Especially when dealing with running VMs (i.e. an iPhone/iOS emulator), RAM is usually the choke point in my past experience.
I would think 4 Gigs of RAM should do it just fine. My Mac Book Pro has 4 Gigs of RAM and runs android emulators all the time and I'm still able to multitask.
Go into an Apple store and tell the guy you wanna demo the latest gen Mac Mini running XCode and its emulators and see if the performance if worth the investment. Its all Apple hardware/software so I don't see why they can't help you out.
8GB Ram
Since you can get already even 16GB Ram in Mac Mini (at least the newest), I cannot see why not take it? More here. Related threads mention very painful experiences with 1/2/4Gt particularly with Xcode 4. As far as I see it, 8Gt is becoming really a must-have, particularly when Xcode turns to 5.

Xcode 4 configure to use less RAM?
Xcode suddenly very slow
OS X 10.6.7, Xcode 3.2.6 (although 3.2.5 shows the same behavior), Mac Pro - 2 2.4 GHz Quad w/ 8GB of RAM.
We have several of these machines, all but one are running great. A normal clean/build takes about 5-7 minutes. On the "naughty" machine it takes about 30 minutes.
Before starting the build the machine has over 5 GB of RAM free, CPU utilization usage is practically zero. We can't see anything that would be eating up resources.
This is just a pretty simple iOS project (using gcc 4.2) - nothing out of the ordinary. Once we kick off the build the XIBs are compiled quickly. It isn't until we get into the 15th-16th implementation file (.m) that the build process slows to a crawl. At that point we still have tons of RAM available and there is very little CPU usage.
Any recommendations as to how we might track down the issue with this machine?
Thanks!
Are you building with the release or the debug configuration? Stripping binaries (release configuration) can be pretty time consuming during build times.
