I think they did profile it, but your experience with editing sounds similar to mine, so I hope you submitted a bug report with some Shark traces. My test case was this:
Start Shark with opt-esc, then type this line in the middle of an Obj-C class file and delete it by holding down backspace.
- (void)thisIsACocoaMethod:(NSString *)aString
With Shark running a malloc trace, I'm not able to type that line and delete it before the trace finishes. With a time profile, I can barely finish deleting it before the profile finishes. (this is on a PowerBook G4)
I like the new features (especially the doc browser), and overall Xcode 3 seems to provide a good user experience on small files/projects. Unfortunately, editing performance is unbearable on my main project(s), but my laptop doesn't have the disk space to support installing Xcode 2.5 as well. I used to think Xcode 2.5 had a slow text editor, and now I long for its blazing speed :).
