I run a project localy and I monitor the memory that idea.exe holds.
The job finishes. java.exe is removed from the list. The memory is not getting smaller and intellij is slow and a bit unresponsive until a restart.
Then when I run again it it happens again.
Any idea?

Any number of factors could impact the speed of IntelliJ, like if your machine has enough memory. In my experience, IntelliJ can easily consume close to 1 gigabyte of memory while I'm using it. You may update the vmoptions as outlined here to attempt to increase the amount of memory allocated to IntelliJ when it starts.
Why is IntelliJ 13 IDEA so slow after upgrading from version 12?
