Why the fuck is android studio such an unoptimized POS?

It sucks up resources like a sponge.
And Gradle just pushes the cores to the max.
Simulator is a memory hogging Pos too.

I had to buy a new laptop just to run it faster.

I had
AMD A8 4500M
8gb ram, running on Ubuntu.

Now I have macbook-pro 15 in. And it still can ramp us the fans.

Ffs get your shit together jetbrains.

    To be fair, intellij is not bad, even with projects on gradle. Beefy, but not bad. Android Studio though...

    @TYML I have accumulated a bunch of android devices now. So I can test on various configurations

    I7 quad in Mac can finally handle it though.

    Things that never go out of fashion:
    * People that complain that <insert IDE name here> is very slow.
    * Java
    * Potatoes

    Unrelated:
    AMD powered 5 year old laptop isn't a good standard for speed.
    MacBooks are very bad at fan noise at even average loads, so nothing new here.

    I have a HP with a dual core i5@3.20ghz hyperthreaded and 16gb of ram and Android studio with a vm runs fine for me. The vm runs smooth as well. Did some stuff to make the VM run smoother though can remember what exactly.

    I have a Core i7-6820HQ and 32GB RAM on my 14", and no Android Studio, and I'm happy :)

    Yeah, but a 2012 AMD APU is ... well... weak. I really found it hard to decide whether a 2017 APU would be sufficient for handling something as small as FreeNAS. And here we're talking about a mature IDE, with compiling, optimization of packages, on Android, which probably runs in a horribly slow emulator.
