Hi,
I'm seeing the exact same problem:
RAM is wasted at a rate of something like 2.0GB per hour in my case.
XCodes' reported RAM-usage is not even very dramatic (± 500MB for a
small project). But the amount of free memory steadily decreases until
after about an hour it's close to 0 and the system start swapping like
crazy. After another hour or so, with all RAM completely filled-up (4Gb)
and 3GB of swapfiles i have to just restart the machine to do anything
usefull apart from waiting for beachballs.
Is this a know issue?
Or is it just fritz and me?

Launching new applications, switching to running ones, even doing much with Xcode, takes a quarter of a minute. I can't move views in a XIB by less than 50 pixels, because the editor catches up with a drag only occasionally.
