I've been having this same problem, but with IU-90.193.

I used to get the new EAP release announcements via RSS, but apparently that has stopped.

Unless you find a better way, just check here regularly:

http://www.jetbrains.net/confluence/display/IDEADEV/Maia+EAP

http://blogs.jetbrains.com/idea/2009/05/compact-create-class-action/

Read about all new features and changes in Maia: http://blogs.jetbrains.com/idea/tag/maia

yes, for some reason they changed that

.  Previous implementation was much better IMO, this new implementation makes me feel like I am using Eclipse..

+1 on the whole idea-turned-wizard disappointment.  I used to pride myself in showing off how fast I can create classes and edit java code in IDEA.  With maia (9.0.1), I can no longer do that.  In fact, I'm embarrass to tell anyone I am using maia.  Backup 8.1.4 for now...

Intellij developers : please fix this!  no reason to conform to the rest of the world, when what you had going for you was exactly the selling point!

http://blogs.jetbrains.com/idea/2009/07/ctrltab-switcher-in-maia/

You're welcome. Tabswitch has always been the first plugin I install. It's great that this feature now is included.

Hello Erik,

I felt adventurous today, so I installed IntelliJ 90.137. After a

quick download, and an even quicker install (on Mac OS Snow Leopard),

I ran IntelliJ, and everything looked nice. Except for the indexing

part. The indexer indexed my Java 1.6 JDK approximately 7 times, cause

my project to be valid, invalid, no valid, ehmm, invalid...I decided

to give it a rest, and after a couple of minutes (argh) the indexer

stopped.

Are you using the Native Neighborhood plugin? If you are, please uninstall

(most of its functionality is provided as core features in IDEA 9).

Unfortunately, I am experiencing similar issues. In my case, all I have to do is open a file and start typing. idea.exe is completely taking over a CPU, and once it dies off, I can 'reproduce' the condition by typing a few characters in the file.

At this time, the current release is unusable for me with the normal plugins turned on. I've disabled even most of the standard plugins -- I have 'CVS', 'Java Server Pages', and the various simple JS ones (not Flex, Quirks, W3C). The only non-standard plugin I have is the SQL Query Plugin. I can at least get around a bit in it, but it is slow still.

It is a largish project, but I really don't think I'm doing anything special. I'm doing searches and editing files, and the application grinds to a halt. It'll be at 0% CPU, like as I type this message, then it jumps to 50-80% CPU if I type a few characters in the editor. Again, most plugins are off, just a relatively few inspections -- in fact, I'm using the Default, just in case.

It updates the index once on startup, but as far as I can tell (in Windows here) it isn't reporting that it's constantly reindexing or so on.

I'd like to contribute whatever information I can, but I don't have much.

Thanks for the continued efforts.

Hello Mike,

Please submit a CPU snapshot as described in http://jetbrains.net/devnet/docs/DOC-192

I am experiencing the same issue with the IU-94.192.  Even with a

small project.  Even when I'm editing a non-Java file like Properties

or HTML.  The IDE performance is the only barrier for me to upgrade my

license to 9.  It's just crazy... what I do in intellij 8 for 5

minutes would take more than 30 minutes in maia....

 

I'm an avid user of intellij, and have been using it even before it

was called Intellij (RefactorIT).  Whenever possible, I'd showcase to

my co-workers all the cool and powerful features available only in

intellij.  Now, I'm embarrass to even fire it up on my laptop.  I have

to say that this is the most disappointing release yet...

 

C'mon guys, I know you can fix this!

Hello Mike,

well... wouldn't you know it.  My 30-day eval license ended today.

 

 

Maybe I'll wait for the next EAP... would I get more eval time for the

next EAP if I install it over the current one?

Post-release EAPs do not give you any additional eval time. However, you

can contact our sales department at sales@jetbrains.com - they usually honor

requests for extended evaluation.

Don't get me wrong... I'm not trying to get freebie eval license here.

I'm being a registered user since intellij3.  I'd absolutely go ahead

with the upgrade if I know for certain that the performance problem

will be resolved very shortly.

Unfortunately we are unable to do anything about your performance problem

unless we have specific information about what causes it (a CPU snapshot

or a thread dump).

Does the performance problem persist if you open your project with the Community

Edition?

Hello Mike,

Thanks for the suggestion.  I did get another eval from sales.  Just

minutes ago, I've upload my CPU snapshots to the ftp site as

IU-94.192_Lium_04.02.2010_10.25.16.zip.  Email has been sent to

mailto:support@jetbrains.com as well. Let's see what happens from

here.

This is in fact quite strange because the CPU snapshot shows that IntelliJ

IDEA is responsive for you pretty much all of the time, and there are no

significant pauses in the event dispatch thread. The only strange thing is

that your maximum memory is set to only 256M. The snapshot doesn't show the

GC data, but it could be the case that all the pauses are caused by GC. Does

it help to increase -Xmx to 512M?

Hello Mike,

And if you clear the system directory and then run IDEA again?

Hehe... even more strange is when I increase heap to 512m, I got the

following error when my project is being loaded:

 

Error while indexing C:\Program

Files\IBM\SDP\runtimes\base_v61\java\jre\lib\core.jar!\sun\rmi\server\

Activation.class

To reindex this file IDEA has to be restarted:

I will try to move ahead with more testing with 512M.  Will let you

Hello Bas,

Secondly the MaxPermSize is most likely set too low. On a 32 bit JVM

250m is better, and on a 64 bit JVM I would set it as high as 500m.

 

Both these issue may be a cause for your performance problems.

The comment about MaxPermSize is not exactly true, as far as I understand.

Either you have enough permgen space (then everything runs normally) or you

don't (then everything grinds to a halt).
