Rust analyzer and compilation are very slow. My system is heating up, running out of ram and disk space. I have 8 GB ram.

I use helix editor.

What are you talking about??? Helix doesn't even need a plugin for the LSP to work. It just uses rust-analyzer. If anything, Helix has the least overhead of them all.
