I started to notice something very annoying with PhpStorm lately. Whenever I type code, the CPU usage goes through the roof, like 300% CPU usage. It seems like something goes wrong with one of the processes that starts when I type, like their auto-complete engine.
I had this issue once before and it turned out to be caused by Dropbox. I was editing some code stored in Dropbox and since PhpStorm saves on every keystroke, Dropbox got triggered and started compressing/encrypting my data. However, this time I don't have any Cloud service running and if I check Activity Monitor, it's the PhpStorm process that has the high CPU usage.
Does anyone have any idea what this could be? I'm not running any weird plugins, just stock + the .ignore plugin. My projects all have Git version control configured in PhpStorm.
Already tried reinstalling PhpStorm, unfortunately, this didn't work.
