I think that these things should be [1] & are [2] mostly beside the
point.
[1]
Any machine supported to run Mac OS X should be more than capable
to run Xcode without _ever_ throwing up the spinning beach ball.
A faster machine should cut down the time it takes to complete a
full operation of search, build, index, et.c., but a slower machine
should be just as usable.

As it is, you can buy the best machine that Apple has to offer, max
it out on RAM, run the latest version of Mac OS X and Xcode - and
still have severe performance problems.
The Xcode team is doing things to improve this, but - cards on the
table - this is the current situation.
Agreed. The specs required to make XCode a happy place are, IMHO,
excessive. Even then CodeWarrior was/is more responsive, but that's
a debate which I think has been worn out.
Mark asked, "Is there anything that can be done to speed things [UI]
up" & I took that as to mean what steps could he take right now.
That being said, I have found that moving to 2.0 and adding ram to be
most helpful with the UI responsiveness... taking those steps moved
XCode from, "that's nice but it's totally unusable" to something that
our company actually can bear using everyday. I do wish it were
better, but it's bearable, 1.5 was not (for me).
