Rust analyzer and compilation are very slow. My system is heating up, running out of ram and disk space. I have 8 GB ram.

I use helix editor.

edit: thank you for all your suggestions. I am breaking up the project into smaller crates to see if that makes a difference.

I got the biggest improvements from zram and sccache. With zram my memory usage stays at 90% instead of fully running out when rust-analyzer starts.

    What are you talking about??? Helix doesn’t even need a plugin for the LSP to work. It just uses rust-analyzer. If anything, Helix has the least overhead of them all.
