I am not sure if this is desired behaviour, but PhpStorm (8.0.3) proceeds to index all files and directories each time I open the IDE. The indexing takes too long - half hour and more. During that time I'm not able to access many configuration options or use "Go to definition" option.
It is very irritating. Shouldn't PhpStorm somehow cache the indices so that it does not go through the whole process over and over again?
It seems that the problem grew over time and at this time it totally paralizes my ability to work on projects.
Is there a solution to it that you know of?

Indexing in PhpStorm is responsible for the core features of the IDE: code completion, inspections, finding usages, navigation, syntax highlighting, and refactorings. It starts when you open your project, switch between branches, after you load or unload plugins, and after large external file updates.
You can stop synchronizing/indexing each time you switch to the IDEA and it's quite useful when dealing with big projects and outside build process which triggers indexing. Just disable checkbox System Settings -> Synchronize files on frame or editor tab activation .
PHPStorm 2020.3 very slow Follow. I have what is probably a pretty non-standard installation, but it's worked well enough for me in the past. Since the update to 2020.3, it's been painfully slow to do basically everything.
Try right-clicking file -> invalidate caches and restart. It worked for me!

is this problem still current? It's more than year since question, so it could be fixed already.
There is no reliable way to say why it's happenings without seeing the logs.
