Sean, when Xcode starts gobbling up pages of memory, does the terminal command, purge ram, help at all?

My script has just run 851 builds and the 4 GB Snow Leopard Mac with 4.2 has been able to keep RAM usage respectable.

It eats up about 50 MB per build, but releases it all when memory is constrained.

Just to be clear, my issue isn't really one of needing 16 GB baseline
for my build, it's that Xcode's memory usage creeps up so much during
the day that my cushion of 5 or 6 spare GBs dwindles to nothing and
provokes eventual swapping. Whether it's a true leak or very aggressive
caching, it's still a bit shocking to see so much memory vanish like that.

You're able to run Xcode 4 throughout a whole day without it crashing?  Cool.  It's never run long enough for me to experience the kind of slow-leak-over-time problem you describe.  Honestly, I'm jealous of your problem. :)
