My understanding is that Xcode does do its indexing in the main thread.
Although it has been modified to "play nicer" with the GUI. My personal
experience on both a DP G5 and a lowly TiBook 550 is that it does
behave much better than ProjectBuilder ever did when indexing. One
thing you might want to do, if this doesn't break things for you, is to
not index jar files. You can do this easily by doing a Get Info on your
jar files and unchecking the "include in index" checkbox. Depending on
how many jar files are in your project, how big they are, and how often
they change, this can make a big difference.
I have suggested via bug reports in the past that Xcode should do
indexing in a separate, low priority, thread. I believe they are
planning on doing that (or something similar) at some point.

Hi,
I'm using XCode for java (WO) development. So that I can run my target
executables from within XCode I need to have indexing enabled (I have
no idea why but it doesn't work without indexing).
I have noticed that as soon as I have indexing turned on XCode becomes
incredibly sluggish (it take 1-2 seconds to respond to anything
including selecting text or menu items) Sometimes it behaves
reasonably well and then it becomes sluggish again. I had a look wiht
the ThreadViewer wich is included in /Developer/Applications and can
only see 3 threads for the whole XCode! (I have at least 5 projects
open) What is worse is that it seems that all the indexing is
happening in the main thread (the lowest one in ThreadViewer)
Can this be true??!! Is this a pb with my install or is everyone
else's XCode like this?
As it stands XCode is hardly usable but I have no choice.
