Hi there,
I've been using IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate since 9.x (2.5 years for now). Currently using 117.912 with its latest Scala plugin, on Mac OS X 10.7.6
When editing large projects (12+ modules), especially in Scala classes, I'm experiencing terribly long GC times, the frequency of which gets higher the longer I'm keeping the IDEA instance running.
My vmoptions is set as follows:
-Xms2G -Xmx2G -XX:MaxPermSize=350m -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=64m -XX:+UseCompressedOops
I've been looking at threads regarding GC settings and it seems like nothing new's been said in the last couple of years.
Do the JetBrains guys have anything new to add? did anyone try using G1GC ever since JDK7 became GA? any other ideas, other than decreasing the heap size (which becomes irrelevant with large projects, especially using the Scala plugin)?
Should I move to 12 EAP + latest Scala plugin?
Thanks
