Mine's a 2.2ghz dual core intel MBP and I have no complaints about the
speed. One difference is that I have 4G of RAM.
I definitely agree with Jamie. Bring up the Activity Viewer and see
what Xcode might be doing in the background. Though, honestly, even
when it's indexing, it's not horrendously slow.
With "only" 2G of RAM, you might want to make sure you don't have
several other memory hogs running at the same that you're using Xcode.
And if your project, or the individual files you're editing, are
particularly large, that could contribute to slowness as well. The
main project I work on has maybe 10-12K files, but individual files
aren't generally more than a few thousand lines, and most much smaller.

Take a look at Activity Viewer from the Window menu. There may be some
background task that is causing your slowdown, e.g. indexing. I'm not
experiencing any significant slowdowns my 2nd gen MBP 2.33ghz w/ 2gig.

Hi,
I am using XCode 3.1 and am comparatively new to using XCode full-
time,
though, the rest of the team I work with have been using it for a
long time
now. My big bugbear with XCode is the speed of the brute. 2.4 GHz,
2 G, 2
Cores and everything is slow. It is at times like crawling through
treacle.
Simple things like opening a file are slow, editing text in a
largish file
is, well, sluggish. My colleague recommends turning off syntax
colouring as
a way of alleviating some of the speed problems. It is a shame I
have used
syntax colouring for years, and like it, but I am sure I will get
used to
turning it off.
I have seen huge improvement in XCode from it's seedling stages as
project
builder - and there are many things that are really, really nice
about it.
Chris Esp. and the team really deserve credit for what they have
achieved.
I love the code completion and the mini debugger and many other
things -
but I think, given a choice, I would exchange them for something
that was
more basic and a lot faster.
Best regards
Alan
