Thanks Scott, You were absolutely right - I had Zombies enabled. After I switched them off, the Xcode memory footprint stopped growing, and jives with what I see in ‘top’ and ActivityMonitor. To be honest, I never knew about this side effect!

Without doing anything in the app, the footprint just grows and grows - if I wait long enough, it passes 100 Megs, and keeps climbing. If I watch the app after I run an archived version in ‘top’ or ActivityMonitor, it does nothing of the sort. It maintains a static footprint of around 20 Megs.
