Every time I run, the logcat seems to start showing device errors from well over an hour ago and it then proceeds to slowly catch up to the current time. Next time I run it does this again, unless I first click the garbage can icon to clear all the messages. This can sometimes take up to 30 seconds to catch up and can be a huge bottleneck when trying to debug an issue. It has also prevented me from using error filtering because I simply cannot tell if there is just no error message at all, or if I am still waiting for it to catch up, so I am forced to remove the filter and see what "time" I am at.

Why does this happen? Is there any way to speed it up? Is this an Android Studio issue or is this just android dev in general? Anyone else have this problem. Been dealing with this for a long time - across multiple formats and versions of intellij - finally cracked with rage and thought I'd ask what is going on here!

Thanks for your help!
