Xcode 4 uses up memory very, very quickly. Think the Flash plugin, but much more aggressive.
Now, I've heard sunny reactions to this sort of thing: Fills up RAM? Splendid! I paid good money for that memory, and I want every bit of it used!
"All of RAM" is good. "More than all of RAM" is a disaster. Xcode make my computer thrash. 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.
I'm on a 4 GB MBP 17" early 2009. That's not an unreasonable development machine. Quitting Xcode frees up 2 GB (plus who-knows-how-much swap).
What can I do to rein this thing in?
