I had turned off all indexing in PB without any noticeable side
effects, that's probably why I don't realize how great Xcode is
compared to PB ;)
I find it hard to understand how a Mac OS X Cocoa app could be designed
in 2003 without making use of threads. What were they thinking?

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.
