Yes, Xcode is parsing and compiling in the background, however, what you're seeing is a bug.  Typically I find that closing Xcode and reopening it will get it to revert to its normal usage.

Hi All-

Since upgrading to Lion and Xcode 4.3.2, my Mac has been running very hot.  I used Activity Monitor and found that Xcode is constantly using more than 100% of CPU, sometimes 200% and 50 threads, with over 1GB of virtual memory consumed.  It does this even when I'm only using it to edit code, not compile or run.  I took a few samples with Activity Monitor, and it showed almost all the time spent in various clang::Lexer and clang::Parser methods.  

Is Xcode trying to parse and compile things in the background?  If so, is there a way to stop this?  I turned off "Show Live Issues", but that did not appear to have any effect.  The annoying thing here is that Xcode does this all day- it never stops hogging the CPU.  I'm working on a fairly complicated C++ project with lex/yacc grammars in it, but it only takes about 10 minutes to compile.  But my goal here is to stop Xcode from doing whatever it's doing.

Thanks in advance for any help!
