Hi,
I noticed that Xcode 2.2 gained its speed at saving files (compared to 2.1) by offloading the saving to a separate thread. A look with top reveals that this saving thread can easily take several seconds (PBG4 1.5GHz here). Now, while I appreciate the speed, it turns out that it has other impacts: Every now and then, I've the case that the background task for saving the file would take so long that in a command-S command-B sequence, the compiler would still see the previous version of the file and not the one that Xcode was still busy saving. This has left me with quite some head-scratching, when I saw the compiler report errors and warning in places where the editor clearly showed that there was nothing wrong.
Why do we need such workarounds in Xcode? Why not simply include fast text editor in the first place?
-Stefan
