Intelliji idea is very slow in debug mode and it is running perfectly in normal mode

Question

Intelliji idea is very slow in debug mode and it is running perfectly in normal mode.

I already tried by setting the below thing in /etc/hosts file sudo nano /etc/hosts

Answer 1

Remove breakpoints off your method and use them inside the method as that can cause your debug to take a very long time.

Try running IntelliJ as admin. I had this issue at work where debugging was extremely slow and running as admin actually made it a lot faster.

Method breakpoints may dramatically slow down debugging

There is a simple explanation from the IntelliJ Team: "Method breakpoints will slow down debugger a lot because of the JVM design, they are expensive to evaluate"
