I have Android Studio 3.0.1 with latest JDK installed on my i7 (4th Gen) dual core Win10 machine, 16GB RAM, 850 Pro 512GB SSD. But even with this beastly configuration, when double clicking on the Android Studio icon to launch the application, the software feels very sluggish in starting up. Takes approx. 15-20 odd seconds to just start up and then do the Gradle build of last opened app, which takes another 30-40 seconds.
Have set the vmoptions & gradle.properties to use -Xms2g and -Xmx4g along with parallel build, offline gradle execution and configureondemand.
Is there a way to drastically improve this performance when I have such a good machine configuration, probably tweaking some other Windows / Android Studio level parameters? Please help.
It start in seconds only because of that configuration.It takes few minutes to start in my laptop with 8gb ram.
So the time you mentioned seems pretty good.

When I run the Android Studio AVD that comes with the IDE, the device is a bit slow and when closing the device (with the close icon) the mouse stops moving and the screen starts to flicker (by blinking I mean the Android Studio IDE disappearing at random intervals), then stops like after two minutes and then the virtual device shuts down.
I have proved with three devices at API 25:
Nexus 5 -Nexus 5x -Nexus 4
With Nexus 4 the app is faster, but is the same problem when closing it, it freezes my PC.
I do not the causes and makes working with android studio slow and annoying.
Today when closing the emulator, it freezes like two minutes and Windows 10 gave me a blue screen with the error: Driver Power State Failure.
Any solutions?

Windows 10
Intel core 7

If your android studio gets hang multiple times then you can try this below step :
-> Go to help in Android Studio -> click on Edit custom VM Options then Paste Below Text :-
-server
-Xms2G
-Xmx4G
-XX:MaxPermSize=2G
-XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=1G
-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC
-XX:SoftRefLRUPolicyMSPerMB=100
-Djna.debug_load=true
-Djna.debug_load.jna=true
-Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false
-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
-XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError
After that restart your android studio and check bottom right side , One indicator is visible for memory usage. If you see that indicator shows more memory , than just click on that indicator its release unused memory from android studio and process will work smoothly.
After follow this step android studio will work smoothly.
I totally beginner in regards to android apps and android studio and I am trying to learn Kotlin and for that I installed Android studio on Ubuntu 18.04 but when trying to install any sdk platform it takes very very long time to complete installing ( the window indicate "installing XXXX" ) is there any way to speed up the installing?
for example Installing Android SDK Platform 24 takes too long
My laptop specs:
core i7
8GB RAM
Getting set up with Android Studio can take a while, usually the download takes the longest time. Expect to download 1-2 GB. You definitely don't need all the SDK platforms, only the latest (currently 28), and you don't need the NDK platform either (unless you're writing in C/C++, which if you're new to Android development is unlikely). You can also avoid downloading an emulator image by just running your app on a real device.
Try going for the minimum amount of things you need to install to get a basic "Hello World!" app running, Android Studio will prompt you if you need to download anything else.
It could also be that your computer is struggling with its memory limits; 8GB of RAM can be tight if you have other programs running on your laptop as IDEs tend to be pretty heavy. Consider upgrading your RAM if you're serious about Android development, 16GB is usually plenty.
I noticed that when doing builds with Android Studio my system's memory usage increases until I restart Android Studio.
Each build increases a little bit more up to the 16GB of my system. At the end I need to restart AS.
I am running Android Studio 3.0.1 on Linux Mint 18.1., 16GB RAM.
I noticed this with and without emulator
Every time I make my project (Build -> Make project) or run my app (Run -> Run 'app') java memory increase and it is never released.
After 10 builds the memory is almost in 1GB and every 30 minutes I need to force java to close:
What am I missing? My android studio is 1.1.0.
Recently, Visual Studio 2012 has been acting up. As I'm developing ASP .NET applications I routinely tab between the browser (Chrome) and the Visual Studio IDE. Sometimes when I attempt to tab back into Visual Studio the window will not come up. At that time if I look at my task manager I'll see that the devenv.exe process is using about 10 to 20% of CPU time and is gathering more and more memory for itself. This goes on for about 20 seconds or so before the IDE is responsive and usable again. Eventually, the IDE can't recover and I need to terminate the process.
My desktop is a 64-bit quad-core i7 # 3.4GHz with 8 GB of RAM, running Windows 7 OS. Typically devenv.exe will use about 500 MB of RAM. When the problem above begins to happen it will quicky ramp up to 1.5 GB and has been as high as 2 GB.
The only add-on I'm using is ReSharper 7.1. I have no further IDE customizations apart from the built-in dark color scheme.
EDIT — I have tried disabling and removing R# which has had no effect on this problem.
EDIT — Bug report on Microsoft Connect
I used to have this all the time until I installed VS 2012 update 4 then it all went away.
I also only use resharper ( version 8).
