You mean not virtual memory?
One google away, I found the only reference to a known bug in the
xcode 2.3 release notes, but I wasn't seeing this bug because I've
never done distributed network builds...luckily I was able to use
this to turn off bfobserver:
sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/
com.apple.dnbobserver.plist
...but the question remains: will this be launched with future
launchings of Xcode? Is the setting stored in project files?

Why (after installing Xcode 2.3) do I have the 'bfobserver' daemon

in my Xcode preferences?
This is /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/
DedicatedNetworkBuilds.framework/Resources/bfobserver and is
started via a launchd item called 'com.apple.dndoberverd'
I unloaded it using the "Lingon" utility but why does it get
installed at all when I'm not using distributed builds at all. If
Xcode can't load & unload this daemon when I check & uncheck the
distributed build options, then maybe it should be an installation
option.
Is this a bug that I should report, or am I misunderstanding
something?
For a variety of unfortunate reasons, it had to be installed that way
to meet the requirements of the release.
The daemon does basically nothing until a user activates Dedicated
Network Builds.
So, yes, it is by design and, yes, we consider it to be a bug and am
working towards a different solution in a future release. No need
to file a bug on this particular issue.
If you want to permanently disable it:
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/
com.apple.dnbobserver.plist
Just remember to re-enable it if you want to use DNB:
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/
com.apple.dnbobserver.plist
