Response times in a PyCharm Python Console are unbearably slow when the console is configured to use IPython. This wasn't the case in a previous installation. When the Python Console is not configured to use IPython, and uses IDLE, it performs normally.
The poor response time seems to be linked to the REPL response function, as depicted in the image below. When the REPL response dialog completes, a background process continues to run for several minutes.
Since this was not a problem in a previous installation, the issue must be a result of a configuration change. However, the only thing I changed was to utilize a Conda env instead of a virtualenv.
Any ideas?

IPython is available on your computer with Anaconda. The corresponding Conda environment is set as the default interpreter for the current project. Once you set a Conda environment as a Python interpreter, PyCharm automatically recognizes IPython, and changes the prompt of the Python console. From the main menu, select Tools | Python Console.

You can assign a shortcut to open Python console: press Ctrl+Alt+S, navigate to Keymap, specify a shortcut for Main menu | Tools | Python or Debug Console. The main reason for using the Python console within PyCharm is to benefit from the main IDE features, such as code completion, code analysis, and quick fixes.
