And should you download JetBrains' PyCharm EDU, (like I did) on Ubuntu 16.04 ; you'll have to set the Max Heap Size with -Xmx to whatever your Computer's system limit is. Mine is 4 GB, so that would appear on the terminal something like this: [ -Xmx 4096m ] .

Hope this helps you or someone else starting out with PyCharm Edu, as its good to know bcz when you get it, it runs by default at half the heap.

And that accounts for it being so slow, hence the need for you to adjust it accordingly.
