It'd be worth checking that you're not using an Intel version of WebStorm. I've personally found IntelliJ (largely the same thing as WebStorm) on the M1 to be _extremely_ fast, certainly leaps and bounds ahead of the old Intel Macs. That's the native version, though; via Rosetta it is absolutely painful (the JVM is close to a worst-case for Rosetta).
