If you go to Tools -> C++ -> Inspect C++ Code Model... how many files do
you have for the "Global/Indexing Snapshot"?
How many files do you have for the "Current Editor's Snapshot" when you try
to get code completion in a file?

How much memory does "clangbackend" executable use? What does
"clangbackend" when the 5-10 seconds of Qt Creator inactivity?


Cheers,
Cristian.
