What are you comparing against? VSCode with a ton of plugins to almost match IntelliJ? Because that's a lot slower than IntelliJ in my experience, not even close...

I am currently using IntelliJ heavily at work and I would agree it was too slow for a gigantic project we have... but there's literally no alternatives that work nearly as great (Eclipse, Emacs, VSCode, tried them all, they mostly can't even load a project like ours --- Eclipse can but it's a pain to index everything on re-builds)... but since I got a Mac M1 Pro, IntelliJ again feels light and snappy :D unfortunately, having the best hardware possible seems necessary now, as ever.

my expectation is that a 64GB 8 core Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1230 v5 @ 3.40GHz with NVMe disk and nvidia graphics on the latest Debian should be much faster running PyCharm than it is in reality.

I develop on mid 2014 15" MacBook Pro mid with 16GB of RAM and 150k LOC Java project works quite ok with latest Idea. It probably depends on what expectations are. It's hardly comparable experience to what was available 10-20 years ago.

Good for you. You are on a platform seemingly preferred by JetBrains.
