I have an intel imac dual 1.83Ghz and Leopard and xcode are both
incredibly slow on my machine. I only have 512MB of RAM and this is
absolutely killing me. From the profiling I've done, I've come to
the
conclusion that you need a ton of RAM to run Leopard even if you have
a decently fast machine. Sadly Tiger didn't have this problem.
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.
Personally, I would recommend only going as far as Tiger. If the
Leopard bloat doesn't get cut in the next year, I'm switching to
Ubuntu because the performance impact is just to painful to deal with
on a daily basis :(
Adding RAM is likely to be less painful than dealing with Linux, IME.
As I said in my previous post. Increasing RAM (at least more than 1GB)
and a clean install of Leopard helped a lot.
My PowerBook G4 1.5 GHz and 1.5 GB RAM works good with Xcode 3. An the
Projects I'm working on are not small at all.
