Firstly, I should say that I'm using OS 10.3.
I have a 36,000 line C++ source file I'm trying to port to the Mac. OK
yes I know that is excessively long, but it can't be helped as I'm not
the one who wrote it.
So, when using Xcode, I find I must wait for 30 seconds or longer, just
to open the file. And then every time I change a letter or line, I must
wait 10 more seconds. If I click on another file, that one opens up,
and then I try to edit the 36,000 line file again, and now I must wait
another 30 seconds.
So something that I could have got done in 5 seconds, now might take me
5 minutes. All because of Apple's great app design.
This totally kills my flow. It makes me want to scream. Really. I can't
get any work done like this! This might seem like a minor inconvience
to some, but when your work is slowed down by 10x or so by your IDE,
and your work means money... and your company's well-fare, well then it
does make you want to scream.
I am used to CodeWarrior, where I can edit huge files instantly. It's
all smooth and flowing.
Does this get better in 10.4?
Is there something I can do to make Xcode not slow? Must I buy a G5 to
edit plain text files which are perfectly well editable by the oldest
of computers that have good software?
