Android studio takes too much memory

I’m currently running Android Studio on Windows 8.1 machine with 6 gigs of RAM.

I found that disabling VCS in android studio and using an external program to handle VCS helped a lot. You can disable VCS by going to File->Settings->Plugins and disable the following:

  • CVS Integration
  • Git Integration
  • GitHub
  • Google Cloud Testing
  • Google Cloud Tools Core
  • Google Cloud Tools for Android Studio
  • hg4idea
  • Subversion Integration
  • Mercurial Integration
  • TestNG-J
