interesting
XCode 2.1 on my iMac G5 2GHz 1GB

file 136KB  3862 lines of code

2 click on the file in the Groups/File Name

~ 2s to open the file and menu with functions to be ready

another file ~230KB and ~10000 lines

~ 4-5 s.

in general my project that builds matlab's simulink dynamic library
(~ 800 files)
in debug mode with all debug symbols generates library with size about 300MB
it takes about 1h to do so


not bad I think (I can compare with Visual Studio that takes about 1.5 h (on 3GHz 2Processors AMD) and about 1 h on Linux/SuSe
with 2 processors; 2GB memory 2 processors 2GHz G5 builds it in ~ 1.5 h, just to be clear all 3 computers were busy with other tasks
but my home iMac was doing only one XCode task. of course there were a lot of others processes, but only 1 application (xcode) was running)


it debugs well too

link takes about 2-3 min.
launching matlab and so on about 1-2 min.
it debugs just fine

Perhaps if Apple supported an external editor API (similar to Codewarrior's), they could perhaps mitigate some of these problems with huge files with the help of some 3rd party editors.


Xcode does support external editors. You can set the editor for a particular file type using the File Types pane of the Xcode preferences.



Xcode _does_ support external editors - for editing.

Unfortunately, Xcode uses its editor for more than editing (debugging, for example), and I know of no way to use an external editor for that - so you are stuck with it.

[ Just checked - opening a 13K text file, containing 362 lines of text - it was more than two seconds from the time the text finished drawing until the function popup appeared. Dual G5/2GHz, 2GB ram, Xcode 2.1 ]
