I'm surprised by this. I've been paying attention to RAM usage and
XCode 4 on a small project is <200mb (in activity monitor) and I've
never seen it go over 1.0gb on a medium size project.
I wish I could offer more than my experiences with it.

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.
