Make project automatically makes IntelliJ IDEA very slow. Any workaround?

Question

I tried to use the "Eclipse mode" to do the build in background, in order to identify compilation error while refactoring:

but IDEA becomes so slow!

Any workaround?

I already tried the IDEA way of compiling and it's not for me: for the first time in ages I am breaking the builds... (and I need to double check from the command line with mvn-compile before to git-push)

Eclipse Mode plug-in is known to cause performance issues, uninstall it. Make project automatically should not affect IDE performance. If it's slow, provide a CPU snapshot.
