SQL Developer on MAC incredibly slow on Mac OSX

KKloeserJan 25 2019 — edited Jan 26 2019

Hi,

we are running SQL Developer on a couple of Mac BookPro's (some new models, other a bit older but all with SSDs, at least 8 GB RAM and 4 core CPUs) and it starts reasonably OK, but slows down quickly.

With slow I mean, that the GUI doesn't react wit lots of delay, I can key in half a select statement until the first letters appear in the editor window. If I change th efocus to another application the whole system is slow; a process Window Server shows a lot of activity, even if SQL Developer is then in the background.

Stopping it returns System Performance to normal.

We are using

Version 18.3.0.277

Build 277.2354

Java 1.8.0_201

Oracle IDE 18.3.0.277.2354

The issue came with one of the latest updates (alos when moving to Mojave on Mac).

Anyone similar experiences or advise how to mitigate that ?

Any Idea how to notify Oracle about it ?

Regards

Klaus
