I'd just like to echo what Jonny said: the slowdown isn't just during
library loading - it seems to occur on every single user command to
gdb.
My productivity has taken a *major* hit since I've started working in
Xcode only. Having 6 CPUs around the house to distribute builds to
brings build time really close to CodeWarrior, but all the molasses-
like slowness of debugging (so it this Xcode's or gdb's fault?),
waiting for large source files to load into a window (a progress bar
for loading a source file? C'mon!), Xcode doing who-knows-what behind
the scenes with indexing or something for 30 seconds at a time when I
move a file in the project window, the unexpected exceptions and
other errors I get when I open a project and close it before it gets
done updating the source control status, all these things are a major
pain in the a** and are wasting my time.
I sincerely hope that the Xcode team will work solely on speed
improvements for 2.3 or 3.0 or whatever the next release will be. I
love Apple and their products, but Xcode's performance is a really
low point on their record. It has enough features for now, now let's
make it usable.
