Webstorm keeps hanging. I followed the following steps. Clicked on Help > Edit Custom VM Options

Change the settings to:

-Xms750m
-Xmx2084m
-XX:MaxPermSize=2048m
-XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=1024m
-XX:+UseCompressedOops

However, this has not prevented webstorm from hanging.

Freezing is not necessary caused by memory issues. If it stops responding, try getting thread dumps (https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/206544899-Getting-a-thread-dump-when-IDE-hangs-and-doesn-t-respond) and provide them to support – lena Jun 07 '16 at 15:23
