title: Android Studio is incredibly slow and laggy
body: <p>Android Studio is painfully slow. It's not just the Gradle build times (which I have seen reach 40+ minutes before I cancelled), it's the whole IDE and my whole computer slows down when AS is open. When I click anywhere in AS, whether it's inside the code or menu items or anything else, it takes seconds to respond.</p>
  
  <p>I uninstalled Eclipse because it was too buggy. AS isn't as buggy but it's way too slow.</p>
  
  <p>Here is what I have tried so far:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Made sure I'm not in presentation mode</li>
  <li>Tried both having <code>Compile independent modules in parallel</code> ticked and unticked - slow on both</li>
  <li>Changed vmoptions to have -Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=1024</li>
  <li>Ticked Make project automatically</li>
  <li>Ticked Use in-process building</li>
  <li>Ticked Configure on demand</li>
  <li>Ticked Offline work in Gradle</li>
  <li>Added --offline in Command-line Options</li>
  <li>Added Thumbs.db in "Ignore files and folders" (Editor -> File Types)</li>
  <li>Added org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m, org.gradle.daemon=true and org.gradle.parallel=true to gradle.properties</li>
  <li>Made sure I'm adding only the google play services libraries that I need</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>None of these solutions helped so how do I fix this? Please don't link a post if it just has things I've tried above.</p>
