I think this is a huge part of it. Adjusting your heap size when working with a large project is a simple thing and makes a night and day difference. It isn't something most people would think to check and Jetbrains doesn't do a great job and helping you find the setting. But with a modern computer and project appropriate memory settings it is extremely responsive.

Maybe they could raising a warning to the user when it sees evidence of lots of GC trashing?
