Chronic issue for me. Consistently waiting on WebStorm lag to complete my typing/commands. May be the vim or other plugins I use, not sure. This is on 2 powerful machines. One Mac, one Windows.

I had the same problem until I download the version that comes with it's on Java runtime environment. The problem does not exist for me anymore but you'd like to try to same if it's still a thing.

Also try to disable any installed plugins if you have any. Some old markdown plugin were causing a stability problem on PhpStorm back then. You may have experiencing something similar.

One last suggestion: try to move/remove the folder that keeps your settings.

Not sure if any of these would help but may worth to try.

Thx for the suggestions. I’ve tried their jre as well. I’ve disabled almost all the plugins, except vim.

That should not be occurring. I normally use it on Mac, but you should be able to type as fast as possible >200 WPM and not have it lag.

Yeah, when I open up WebStorm's activity monitor and just start typing, the JIT compiler cranks away at 150% almost constantly.
