Ugh, I was afraid of that. I haven't gotten Panther/Xcode yet
(tomorrow, with my G5, woohoo!), but I'm dreading waiting for my entire
project to re-index. And then index any new files when I update from
CVS. And, perhaps most annoying of all, re-index the file I'm working
on every time I hit cmd-S. Over the years, I've trained myself to save
the file I'm working on almost any time there's a pause in my typing.
So, if I'm working on a medium to large size file, every time I save
it, I have to wait a few seconds before I can continue typing/working.
This is with PB. I was hoping Xcode would be better. I say again, ugh.
I sent an email to xcode-feedback during the pre-release period asking
about the indexing problem. They were nice enough to send me a
response. My suggestion was that the indexing process should reside in
its own LOW priority thread so that it wouldn't interfere with the user
while they were using Xcode. I was told that, although indexing still
occurred in the same "main" Xcode thread, it had been changed to "play
nice" with the Xcode UI and not interfere with user interactions. I
believe at least one or two other people on this list have mentioned
continued problems with indexing in Xcode. So, I guess it's still an
issue.
On the bright side, the response also hinted that they were aware the
current solution wasn't optimal, and would be putting some more effort
into making it better.

what makes a lot of the special features in XCode possible, but if
it's done in a way that prevents you from editing your code it's not
very useful, is it?
Rant over.
So am I doing something wrong? Is anyone else seeing this? Is it
being fixed?
