Loading a big graph completely freezes the IDE

[edgarogh]

IntellIJ uses asynchronous tasks for things as simple as pasting code, so a CPU intensive task like computing a graph should definitely be offloaded to another thread.

I'm also running into this. I have 5000+ line .dot files and PyCharm locks up for several seconds opening them. It's a bigger problem because of the one-click preview they introduced a while back. Need to offload the processing, or if it's possible, force PyCharm into just the editor view, so it doesn't have to render the diagram.
