I think problem was in jre with jcef, plugin should have selector with supported working versions, cause even after disabling plugin and restarting with disabled non bundled plugins it starts slooooooooooowww....
Is there possibility to made it easier for beginners?
Not just with step by step comands how to damage your working environment? :)

Well, as I say after two hours of trying to start studio and waiting to change something as it becomes slow as hell and unresponsive i deleted jcef jbr folder and it starts in previous configuration and fast as it should be.
This may happen for more users.
JCEF part and selection should be manager better way, if realy needed that.

Thank You

This should be NO GO for plugin.
Warning is trustful.

For other users:
DO NOT DO IT!!! Unuse plugins that want it!!!

@mimoccc we don't support Android Studio, see related issues above. Behavior will be unexpected.

A fix that may help with this was merged in #11899 — it chunks large JCEF messages to avoid overwhelming the browser bridge. This will be included in 1.0.65.

These issues have been difficult to verify across different environments. If you're still experiencing this after updating to 1.0.65, it would be helpful to know. Thanks.
