Isn't 512 the bare minimum to run the OS? It's hardly fair to blame Xcode for the slowness you're seeing. I have a dual 1.8 G5 with 3 GB of RAM and Xcode 3 and Leopard are quite usable on it. I think Xcode is mainly unusable on single core core systems like my PowerBook; code parsing and GC combine to bring it to its knees.

Adding RAM is likely to be less painful than dealing with Linux, IME.
