Speed up Android Studio startup by disabling unnecessary plugins

Android Studio loads a relatively large number of plugins on start up. Depending on your workflow, some of them may not be needed. For instance, if you don't use Subversion as your source code repository, then the Subversion plugin may not need to be loaded especially if your machine is slow or RAM is limited.

To disable plugins, do the following:

1. Start Android Studio.
   
   
   
2. In the Configure drop down menu at the bottom right, choose Plugins.
   
   The Plugins dialog box appears.
   
   
3. Scroll down the list and toggle off the unneeded plugins e.g. CVS Integration. Click OK.
   
   The Prompt appears.
   
   
4. Click Restart.
   
   Android Studio is restarted without the disabled plugins.
