Rubymine 5.4.3.2.1 freezes sometimes

I am using Rubymine to work on a suite of rails projects. There are quite a bit of gems and source files, but I think rubymine should be able to handle everything despite the size...

My sources files (and gems) are shared in a Vagrant box (see https://stackoverflow.com/a/19662310/311744).

Sometimes, when I am editing, Rubymine freezes. (about 5-6 seconds).

Usually, 3-4 minutes after I restart the IDE, everything is fine. Then I have one big 5 seconds freeze, and then from that point every 15-20 seconds I have a new freeze. During a freeze, Rubymine takes 100% (or a big part) of the CPU.

I am running on MacOS 10.8.5 on a recent MBPr.

I don't want to give up Rubymine. How can I troubleshoot that ?

My situation (of freezing/hanging) was similar, while using RubyMine 2023, on a Mac. For me felt like it happened more when dealing with Rspec tests.

In Settings/Preferences, turn off the synchronization with external file changes. See this picture... enter image description here

I suspect this can be for any of JetBrains IDEs (including IntelliJ - I am adding this keyword intentionally in case it helps others).

In case of the performance issues you should start from the troubleshooting guides on the official support site:

Check that all the files are local, try to increase the heap size in case the problem is caused by the JVM garbage collection.

If nothing helps, provide all the collected data to the technical support team or to the issue tracker.

Trying RubyMine 6.0 will definitely not hurt as noted in the comment above =)

This guide is for all the users having performance issues with RubyMine or any other IntelliJ IDEA platform based IDE.
