Kotlin 1.4 in IntelliJ-based IDEs: Boosting Quality and Performance
summary
Anonymous telemetry shows about 5% of session time wasted with UI freezes at 31% and indexing at 28% of that waste, so effort targets concrete bottlenecks. Code completion latency shifts from 7.5% >0.5s to mostly instant after optimizations, basic highlighting time halves on a large Space benchmark, ~50 freeze/memory issues are fixed in 1.4, and Shared indexes promise up to 75% less indexing time. Other deliverables include Incremental cache management, a new project wizard and light editing in Kotlin plugin 1.4 + IntelliJ IDEA 2020.2.
