There are multiple ways to vastly increase Intellij performance. They also have 'Auto-share Settings' feature so you can keep a whole team in-sync with them through a repo.

tweaks like:

- they added their own custom property that speaks for itself: 'editor.zero.latency.typing=true'

- it runs on a JVM, so update the JVM settings. (Like most apps, they ship with defaults that assume you're running your IDE on something with the memory of today's phone)

- disable all unused plugins

This comment might seem like evangelizing but I find Intellij to be what an IDE should be in many ways. It would be nice if there was a feature to use more performant settings. But that's likely a rabbit-hole to auto-determine for all variety of customer env. Maybe something to make people aware of their options at least would be a middle-ground.

Isn't zero latency typing enabled by default now? I can't find the documentation now, but I clearly remember reading that.
