The are already using the most efficient file notification APIs when running on Windows NT/2000/XP, in which the operating system notifies Idea when something changes, instead of Idea having to poll directory structures periodically. What OS are you using? They should be limiting their search to the directories specified in your project settings. Does your application perform lots of disk I/O in those project directories?

But then I noticed that my application ran slow even if I ran it outside of idea. When I closed down idea, it sped up quite a bit. I think that idea's file-watching is slowing down the entire file-system (our program is quite IO intensive). Is there any way to optimize the file watching so that the performance is better?
