l0ng-ai 6165cb0174 perf: Add a black-box comparison with other IDEs (#6)
perf/compare/bench.py launches each IDE in apps.toml on the same project
and measures it from the outside, the same way for each: time to the
project window, to CPU settling and to log markers; memory and CPU of the
whole process tree; idle CPU, exit time, cache and install size. Runs on
Windows, macOS and Linux with psutil; --wipe-caches measures a cold index.

OpenIDEA

The IDE you know, rebuilt in Rust.

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/234dd54c-1255-4b3a-b35c-533d78d737c0

OpenIDEA brings the IntelliJ IDEA way of working — its keymap, its tool windows, its search-everything habits — to a native app with a Rust core.

Editor, code insight, debugger, Git, terminal, database and HTTP clients, for 60+ languages.

Benchmark

Opening freqtrade (Python, ~770 files) with warm caches, median of 5 runs:

OpenIDEA IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2.3
Window with the project 0.9 s 3.1 s
Ready (CPU settled) 1.1 s 13.2 s
Memory (USS, all processes) 169 MB 2011 MB
CPU time until ready 2.4 s 47.9 s
Idle CPU 4 % of a core 7 % of a core
Quit 0.3 s 5.9 s

A release build of OpenIDEA from main and IDEA with default settings and plugins, on Windows 11, 32-core AMD, 62 GB RAM. IDEA analyses Python more deeply, so "ready" doesn't mean the same work on both sides. Both are measured from the outside, the same way: see perf/compare to run it on your machine and projects.

Build

pnpm install
pnpm tauri dev

Rust 1.96, Node 22, pnpm and the Tauri prerequisites.
