Rust analyzer and compilation are very slow. My system is heating up, running out of ram and disk space. I have 8 GB ram.
I use helix editor.
edit: thank you for all your suggestions. I am breaking up the project into smaller crates to see if that makes a difference.
I got the biggest improvements from zram and sccache. With zram my memory usage stays at 90% instead of fully running out when rust-analyzer starts.
you may consider it harmful, but if they’re not using the features, why would it be? or if they’re only using a tiny chunk of a giant dep, maybe there’s something else more appropriate for their use
