The laptop has been hyperventilating for a while now.
I check the process list.
#PhpStorm is using up like 9 cores of the CPU. The usage is inconsistent and keeps jumping up and down drastically.
I check the list of PhpStorm's background tasks. Find none.
I'm staring to think PhpStorm just has a coin miner hidden somewhere.
At that point I restarted it while writing this post, and about a minute later it complained to me about being low on memory. Even though only three files were open. Are you fucking kidding me?
Then it offered me to analyze memory usage. It took about two minutes and another restart of the IDE. Once it was done and offered me to share the dump/analysis with JetBrains, I agreed. And that's when it told me there's a new build which already fixes this "exception".
But I'm not on their subscription anymore, so I'm not getting that build. Sucks to be me, LOL! 😀
