Severe AI Chat Performance Degradation During Long JetBrains Unreal Engine IDE Sessions

I've been experiencing significant performance issues with the AI chat inside the JetBrains IDE while working on Unreal Engine projects. After prolonged usage and larger conversations, the chat becomes extremely slow and laggy, making it difficult to use productively.

The issue appears to worsen as the chat history grows. My suspicion is that the entire conversation history, including very old messages, may be kept loaded and processed continuously. If that's the case, performance could potentially be improved by:

  • Loading only the relevant context instead of the full conversation history.
  • Using lazy loading / virtualized scrolling for older messages.
  • Loading and unloading chat content as needed while scrolling.
  • Optimizing memory usage for long-running chat sessions.

Long sessions currently become progressively slower and can severely impact the user experience. This is particularly noticeable when using the AI extensively during Unreal Engine development.

Would appreciate it if this issue could be investigated and prioritized, as it significantly affects productivity.
