Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently the scanning is quite slow. It can take 5-10 seconds for IntelliJ to perform the scan once you save a file.

Describe the solution you'd like If dmypy were to be utilized the scans should be incredibly more efficient and faster. It could take less than a second most of the time.

Describe alternatives you've considered The Dropbox team has a Mypy plugin (https://github.com/dropbox/mypy-PyCharm-plugin) but it's terrible in every single way except for performance. The configuration lives in a weird place, not many configuration options, and no real-time scan/showing errors in the editor. However, maybe their code for running the daemon could be used?

I know this issue has sorta been mentioned before, but no answer was ever given with regards to what the plans are for this.
