My IDE hangs for minutes since I work on a big project every time I press "." or do CTRL+SPACE.

If I am lucky I hit the ESC key on time, if not I must wait 1 minute while banging my head against the table.

I want to totally disable it, how to do?

How big is this project? I've got one with about a million lines, but hardly ever experience delays. And if I do, it's usually for just a couple of seconds.GolezTrol
@golez Program is buggy. Sometimes it goes into infinite loop doing insight.David Heffernan
@David: Out of curiosity, why is the 'infinite loop' terminated after a few minutes?Andreas Rejbrand
@AndreasRejbrand It doesn't terminate for me. XE3 appears to be better.David Heffernan
I have found the IDE works better if the code is compiled (successfully) before trying code insight, refactoring, etc...Nicholas Ring

After searching for the 10th times I found it:

Tools > Options > Editor Options > Code Insight

when you really want to find something in a UI it is difficult to find it...
