Well, more testing seems to point to the editor as the issue. I am currently running XCode in "Condensed" mode and have all text files set to open in Emacs. Everything seems to be working well.
Why does XCode's editor (seem to) use so much memory over time, to the point of taking a second or two just to move the cursor?
Then again, perhaps it was some other part of XCode that was loaded/shown before I switched to "Condensed". Both "default" and "all-in-one" had the issue, so this could likely be. Maybe using "Condensed" mode with separate editor windows will also work. I will test this later.
Also, I noticed that with an external editor set, if I double click a file in the list, it opens in the editor, but if I highlight the file and press return, it still opens in xcode's editor (in a separate window of course). Is there a way to change this? If I'm going to use an external editor, especially a keyboard-based one, I don't want to have to double click a file to open it when pressing return should get the job done. Also, I know I could (and I do) use Emacs find/open file functions, but if I'm already in the XCode window, being able to open a file in an external editor via pressing return would be make sense.
