Don't know about datagrip, I was speaking for Idea and webstorm anyway they are mostly the same codebase.
You can increase the available ram to intellij in the settings (under the help section if I remember correctly)
My old thinkpad was really slow with Idea because my RAM would easily overflow and therefore spam swap usage.
The secret sauce is to go for 16GB of ram, any developer deserve it.
Also if you feel adventurous, by going to the EAP release channel you will get optimization earlier (at the cost of some rare additional bugs)
Also always be up to date by using the jetbrains Toolbox and checking download update automatically.
If you turn mitigation=off on your Linux you will get better perf in general at the price of enabling an extremely hard and slow security threat.
I already happen to run an EAP and Linux without mitigations (they're less bad on AMD CPUs anyway). I guess I'll try increasing the heap, but I hope it doesn't need 16 GB for itself.
