pycharm running way slow

Question

I\'m a big fan of PyCharm by JetBrains but I do run into some issues that I thought maybe I\'ll ask here about.

1. It hangs unexpectedly and this happens often. O

Answer 1

In my case, the problem was a folder in the project directory containing 300k+ files totaling 11Gb. This was just a temporary folder with images results of some computation. After moving this folder out of the project structure, the slowness disappeared. I hope this can help someone, please check your project structure to see if there is anything that is not necessary.
