Xcode constantly eating Ram

I created in Xcode 4.1 a new document based OS X app and named it "Test"; did not change anything.
Then I opened TestDocument.m in TextEdit (but did not do anything more)
Then I changed a comment line in TestDocument.m using the Xcode editor.
for(;;)
{
hit Run button in Xcode
wait for "Test" to start
hit Stop button in Xcode
note Activity Monitor → System Memory → Used:
}
I noticed that the Used Ram increases by about 15 MB in every iteration of the loop above .
This does not seem much, but the consequences are that in a normal working day:
Free Ram goes to almost zero, page out starts, swapfile increases, and everything becomes much, much slower → need to reboot the computer at least once a day.
What is going on?
Please note that I usually do *not* use the Xcode editor for most of my work. So the suggestion "Just do not open a source file in TextEdit" does not really help.
Kind regards,
Gerriet.
