Refreshing Metadata is very slow

[Peter Churchill]

I'm using IC2 with Webstorm

Not sure if I am doing something wrong, but when I try and Refresh metadata, especially if it has been a few days, it takes several minutes and just seems to hang (the progress bar shows it sitting at around 75%)

It does usually finish eventually, but is there something I should be doing to speed it up\optimize it?

Peter, the most common reason for slow metadata retrieval, deployment, etc., is server-side queueing. IC pretty much submits a job to the API then polls for status and ultimately completion. You can confirm that -- either way -- by enabling debug logging for Metadata Retrieval and Salesforce DX and reproducing the behavior. Then if you look in idea.log, you'll see IC submit the job and poll for status. If it shows as "SUBMITTED", "QUEUED", or similar for a long period of time before going into "PROCESSING" and then "COMPLETED", that's server-side queueing. I'm also happy to review the resulting log. Feel free to send it to sup...@illuminatedcloud.com. Note that I'm traveling today and responses may lag by a few hours.
