I have a Dual 2.0GHz G5, with 1.5G of RAM. I don't get the impression that adding RAM would improve my build times at all. When you consider the highly distributable nature of compiling, I don't think any discrete moment during the build process needs a particularly large amount of RAM unless you've got insanely huge source files.

Hi,

I am transitioning from CW 9 to Xcode and currently have 2GB in my dual 2.5 GHz G5. What kind of speed ups should I expect for compiles and debugging if I were to invest into an additional 2 GB? I know those things cannot be quantified exactly because it will depend on the size of the project, etc., but my guess is some kind of generic assessment of whether benefits can be expected to be minimal, notable, or pronounced should be possible (perhaps based on own experiences).

It is my experience that Xcode compared to CW is dead slow, so anything I can do to speed it up would be useful, but I would not want to waste money on getting more memory if it is not likely to make much of a difference.

Thanks,

david.
