This doesn't really seem to be much of an issue on the multi-core Intel
machines, but I have noticed that Xcode consumes a substantial amount of CPU
while building (not the compiler -- but the IDE itself).
Interestingly, I have noticed that if you select the "Executables" Smart
group in the project window and close the Build window, the IDE only uses a
small percentage of the CPU and the compiler gets more CPU and runs faster.
Sampling the IDE seems to indicate that a large amount of time is spent
updating the warning and error counts in the file table. Making it so they
are not visible removes that consumption of the CPU.
So -- for folks compiling on G4 laptops, this is a reasonable improvement --
seems to make the compile run about 1.5x to 2x faster on my laptop...
