I always found the mac and linux versions to be way faster than the windows one, for various Jetbrains IDEs. I have the impression that windows + antivirus + jetbrains is generally quite awful in terms of performance.

Jetbrains Rider has a post-installation screen that asks you if it can configure Windows Defender exceptions for itself. It seems to really improve performance on my personal computer. On my work computer I have Symantec Endpoint Protection and Tanium, and the IDE is way slower (on equivalent hardware).

Can't speak for the other platforms, but I work on an M1 Mac and using IntelliJ feels like trying to move while submerged in a barrel of syrup.

Did you increase the maximum RAM it can use?

Interesting, I wonder how it does in WSL?

On a project I’m working on, tests run 50x faster in WSL. General IDE usage is not that different. I run the IDE in windows and the code in WSL though.
