That's odd. It runs as snappy as ever on my 16G 2013 MacBook Pro.

What MacOS version? I might have made a mistake by upgrading
On Big Sur at least there are dozens of daemons running that can't be turned off due to the read-only system partition. I'd check those and third-party software that could be sapping performance. Gets more important with older hardware.
It's running El Capitan.

I also have a 16G 2015 MBP running Monterey and IntelliJ with no problem at all though.
