Unless the projects you work on are hideously large and would benefit from parallel processing (splitting the i/o among several processors), your current machine is quite satisfactory. Try this: using your current system, create a 4GB disk partition in memory. Then make that partition the “Derived Data” location. You can see how here: [http://www.blinddogsoftware.com/goodies/#CacheInYourPocket] If you notice an improvement in stability and decreased build time, great. If not, just keep on building great apps.

It works fine, but I'm wondering if an iMac Pro or a top-of-the-line 2019 iMac would be a life-changing experience. Or just, "that's nice."

The Geekbench numbers are somewhat informative, but hoping for commentary based on personal, direct experience.
