I wish there was benchmarks for IDEs/editors, just like there are benchmarks for web frameworks (https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/ https://web-frameworks-benchmark.netlify.app/).

For instance, given some Java program/project:

1. Clock time from selecting "Run" in the IDE to first line written to stdout (to measure startup time)

2. Clock time from selecting "Debug" in the IDE to breakpoint hit and debugger able to inspect stack (with breakpoint on line N)

3. Total memory used with open project, with single editor window open.

4. Total memory used when breakpoint hit.

5. Clock time from selecting "Run tests" in the IDE to test results are displayed

6. Clock time from selecting "Debug tests" in the IDE to breakpoint hit and debugger able to inspect stack (with breakpoint on line N)
