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.

Here's what I see (just tried again, this time on a PB G4 1.67) Open a single file (13KB, 362 lines) from the "Open..." menu.

XCode:
One thousand-one. Text appears. One thousand-two. One thousand-three. Function list appears.


BBEdit:
Open the same file I used before. (One thousand-) In less than one second, the window is open, the text is displayed, and the function list is available.


CodeWarrior:
Even faster than BBEdit. (One thou-)


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

Note: I am happy to follow your change of subject from editing speed to build speed, but the two are not the same.


You have my sympathy.
I, too, used to suffer through outrageously long build times.
The difference was that I was using MPW on a 25 MHz 68030 in 1991.

I have a smaller project that I build with CodeWarrior ( 220 source files, debug binary about 6 MB + 4 MB .SYM file).

It builds (a clean build, including linking) in about 200 _seconds_
Linking takes about 10 seconds.
Most builds take less than 30 seconds, from hitting "Make" to debugging the result of the build
(That's including launching the application, in case I wasn't clear).


When Xcode can do that, people will stop complaining about Xcode being slow.


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)

One hour for a build? And that's "not bad"?

All I can say is:  you have very different expectations than I do.
