Android Studio 1.3 latest stable update is very slow compared to its previous version 1.2.2.
I have updated Android Studio from 1.2.2 to 1.3 and it just gone slow.
It actually scans or compile or something like that all the time while typing. Its good but scanning too much makes it slow while typing.
Even it hangs for a second or two while I type something in comment.
So I want to know whether I can do something to improve performance.
I can't downgrade :-(
My previous version was working better. Also latest version (1.3) takes lot of time for Gradle Build.
What should I do ?

I have solved my problem by just increasing RAM from 4GB to 6GB. Actually I was also using Genymotion which consumes almost 1GB ram and makes my PC slow. So now I have also updated Android studio to version 1.4 and updated RAM to 6GB.
Now everything working perfect and fast Android studio as well as genymotion.
So according to me it was only a RAM shortage.

I would say to work without problems with Android Studio you need a Quadcore, 8 GB Ram 1600MHZ at least and at least a Samsung 850 Pro SSD.
