That's not a reasonable answer. A glorified text editor should not
require
a gigabyte of ram. As computers have gotten faster, computer
programs have
required more ram and faster processors. The source code is no more
difficult to edit than it was a decade ago. Writing text should be a
solved problem.
It might not be the writing that's the problem.
It could be the presentation while one is writing.
Has anyone with a painfully slow Xcode install done this simple test:
turn off syntax coloring.
This is a good point. I haven't tried turning this off. But then,
other editors can handle quite complicated syntax coloring and
indenting in a way that's far more customizable than Xcode's (yes, I
filed a bug) without losing all of their performance.
What about the other barnacles, like indexing, the function-popup,
etc.?
Indexing using Xcode 2 was very slow and so I turned that off. I found
the performance hit to be quite a bit smaller in Xcode 3 so I turned
it back on. I haven't tried function popup because I find that useful.
In fact, it's probably my most used gui item in Xcode. Maybe turing it
off would help, but I'm loath to do that.
Many of the posts specify hardware, but none have yet specified
which Xcode
settings or preferences are active at the time.

Another resource-hog can be found here:
Xcode Preferences window.
Building pane.
The "Build Options:" heading (right side, middle-ish).
The "Use Predictive Compilation" checkbox.
Oh yes, this has to go off. Performance aside, there's little more
annoying than cc1 crashing while you're typing.
