Look, you haven’t mentioned that where do we have to do all of these changes.. why are you always missing basics and very simple stuff.. new Idea user will probably get lost with these instructions..

You have to edit the idea.vmoptions file with those mentioned parameters.

I finally boosted my IDEA to great performance again, just by buying a SSD drive.

Have the recommendations changed in the past couple of years or are these still the recommended JVM settings with 7.0.3?

We don’t configure this option for IntelliJ IDEA. So, I can’t say whether it is actually useful or not.
Probably, this link may help you somehow:

I saw in the intellij.net website forum the followed: “-Dsun.awt.keepWorkingSetOnMinimize=true”.

Is it safe? Is it usefull?

I didn’t see it in your “not to use” parameters?

Thanks.
