I'm experiencing huge slowness in the launch of XCode, Terminal,

10.3.7 or is there something wrong with using XCode 1.5 on Mac OS X
10.3.7?
Have you fired up top, activity viewer, etc. to see if any other
processes are chewing up CPU time or IO resources?
No process is eating the CPU (I'm seeing this on a PowerMac G5 1.8
GHz MP 1 GB Ram) according to top (top is the one eating most of the
cpu as a matter of fact).
I know from experience that launching XCode is not very fast but
usually it's ok. What I'm seeing is something like 3 minutes to
launch XCode when I used to experience 30 seconds (more or less).
Humm on my system (PM G5 2GHz, 4GB RAM) XCode takes 1-2 seconds to
launch and 3-5 seconds the first time after boot. When you say launch
XCode are you also opening a particular project?
It takes longer to open a project (most of mine open in under 10
seconds) but I can hear disk activity during that whole time so it is
mostly disk IO limited (at least the first time until stuff gets
faulted in and cached in RAM).
Something is screwed up on your system... any messages popping up in
the console log? Sure your disks and file systems are ok?
I should outline that my system is typically has one CPU of time being
used by Folding@home, playing iTunes, etc. and I have 2 or sometimes
more instances of Xcode and/or CodeWarrior running on my system each in
different user logins (using fast user switching and FileVault for
some). The system seem to fly through this work load.
As Tito outlined it could be helped by prebinding but really I doubt it
is an issue on 10.3.7. I suggest when you see slow application
launches, etc. that you sample or shark the application to see if you
can find a spot it is blocked in, etc.
