title: Rstudio is painfully slow
body: <p>Suddenly, Rstudio is painfully slow, and now it is unusable. This means, I open it up and there is a lag of several seconds if I type anything. I have explored all the options I can come up with: 
  1. re-installing both R and Rstudio (although I am not 100% sure I could remove all components), 
  2. trying to reset settings.... the obvious things such as clearing the workspace and the console. </p>
  
  <p>The size of my data is negligible. I cannot think of anything else.... any ideas?</p>
  
  <p>The only observation i can make that shows something could be wrong with the configuration is (sometimes), I see "gctorture false" as a value in the environment. </p>
