my current project is quite big, ( over 800 files )

If this still occurs, you should file a bug; as a user of IntelliJ you should not need to worry about a slow editor.
To investigate the problem further, you can first look in the directory from "Help | Show Log in $FileManager". If there are any subdirectories named threadDumps-*, you can find out what stops the editor from being responsive.
You can find more details in the instructions for reporting performance problems in IDEA.
