Same here.  I just had to buy another 8 GB of RAM to put in my laptop since I can't run Xcode, the simulator and Safari at the same time without using 7 GB of swap space.

Quitting and relaunching Xcode and Safari keep things OK for a while.

Now I've got 16 GB.  Hopefully things will be better, but this is insane memory usage.

Over the course of a day, Xcode 4.3's memory usage creeps up from roughly 523 MB from a fresh launch with my workspace opened, to somewhere north of 7GB after several hours of work.

More interestingly, closing my workspace does not free that memory - Xcode still holds on to that 7+ GB of real memory.
