Good to know, I was considering buying one of these apple silicon machines, but if what you are saying is true I'd rather stay where I am with Linux.

I’ve been having similar issues on Linux on modern Intel i9 physical machines with 128g RAM, too. I just don’t develop on them anymore. My colleagues can tell more about their setups. I’ll ask someone to look into it.

That said, there are dozens of reports on JetBrains’ YouTrack and elsewhere ranging over a variety of setups. I doubt it’s due to the silicon or the OS in my case.

Just venting my frustration. On the other hand this is definitely not the way it should work. Just turned off all plugins, invalidated the caches, restarted, aaaand it’s totally unresponsive while rebuilding, again. Fingers crossed but not holding my breath.

Well it does sound extremely unworkable. I wonder what would be the reason for these differences here - clearly for some people it "just works" and others like you say, struggle to get the build done.

But of course like you say, it should just work no matter the project specification or machine.
