Here is my recipe how to speed up your lovely WebStorm:
- Go to Preferences and do next:
- Appearance & Behaviour > System Settings > Updates: disable auto update
- Appearance & Behaviour > System Settings > Usage Statistics: Uncheck
Allow sending data usage statistics to JetBrains - Editor > Live Templates: disable all, leave only what you are really use
- Editor > Emmet: disable all emmets
- Editor > Intentions: I leave only: CSS, Declaration, JavaScript and Language Injection
- Plugins: leave only next (* - can be also disabled in case you don't need them):
- CoffeeScript *
- CSS Suport
- CVS Integration
- Git Integration
- HTML Tool
- IntelliLang
- JavaScript Debugger *
- JavaScript Intention Power Pack
- JavaScript Support
- NodeJS *
- Perforce Integration
- SASS suport *
- Project > Directories: Exclude all what you don't use
- Languages & Frameworks > JavaScript > Libraries: leave only: HTML and HTML5 / EcmaScript 5
- Languages & Frameworks > Compass: disable it
- Tools > WebBrowsers: leave only Chrome
Help > Edit Custom VM Options: Edit and increase usage memory pwd:
-Xms1024m
-Xmx1536m
-XX:MaxPermSize=1024m
-XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=512m
-XX:+UseCompressedOops
So the main idea is next: disable all in Preferences what you really don't use and increase memory for IDE.

3I would also prune "Editor > Inspections" or to stop inspecting completely, enable "Power Save Mode" from the file menu.Eat at Joesβ Eat at Joes2016-02-02 16:23:06 +00:00Commented Feb 2, 2016 at 16:23

3All tips are useful but increasing the memory is the crucial one. My Intellij IDEA was pretty much dying, then I increased the memory and its flying again. My project got simply too big and I didn't realize this limitation. So thanks a lot!tobikβ tobik2016-05-26 10:26:53 +00:00Commented May 26, 2016 at 10:26

21In more recent versions, simply press Ctrl+Shift+A for the Find Action popup and type "Edit Custom VM Options". It will automatically create the correct file for your machine that you can edit.Kevin Cβ Kevin C2017-04-29 19:24:23 +00:00Commented Apr 29, 2017 at 19:24
There is a "Power Save Mode" setting in the files menu. This will disable some syntax highlighting and stuff, but will improve the speed of any JetBrains IDE.
Also check out ScriptedAlchemy's jetbrains-ide-performance github repository - and be sure to check out the updated settings in the issues. Disabling unused global symbols (search for it in the settings, it's under inspections) also seems to help.
