I have a project with a 50 source files and a few thousand lines of

When I want to debug the project it takes about 25 seconds for the
executable to launch. I have a 1.5GHz Powerbook G4 with 1.5 GB ram.
This slow loading has been a problem for some time. There was a
time after
the release of Xcode 2.0 when it was fast but then for some reason
it slowed
down. I currently have MallocStackLogging defined but there was no
difference whether it was on or off. This delay is quite annoying
when I am
in a debug cycle.
The strange part is that the CPU is not at 100% during this wait
but there
is a large burst of disk activity at about 17MB/sec for about 10
seconds.
If I run Shark there is a lot of time spent in NSTableView
drawRecta and 14%
of the time is spent in objc_msgSend_rtp.
Can anyone tell me if this is normal or if perhaps I have something
setup
incorrectly?
You didn't mention if you have ZeroLink on or off. What I see every
day is that if ZeroLink is on, it takes maybe 30-45 seconds from the
time I hit Debug until the time I see our splash screen. Then, when
our app starts to load its scripts, it takes more than a minute to
load/link/bind with the frameworks or whatever.
On the other hand, if I have ZeroLink off, then linking takes roughly
the same amount of time that the above, but I don't see the 1-minute
delay for it to link with the frameworks.
Both are equally annoyingly slow, especially when a usual day's work
requires this to happen 20 times or more (actually, I've never really
counted).
