Joar told you where to control this, but I just wanted to say you might not want to disregard the usage stats as something annoying and unneeded. You never can tell when you might happen to glance over at this simple and helpful feature and see that the memory usage is steadily rising, but you don't think your app is doing anything, only to find that, yes, it is pointing out a bug where you malloc'd a buffer but never free'd it. Or that the CPU is still churning away even though you've closed all your windows, only to discover that a threaded process attached to a window controller is still running because the window only got closed but its controller is still alive and kicking.
So instead of hiding it, ask yourself what annoys you about it. Is it that you'd rather see the Project Navigator when you're done debugging? Fine; switch it back to that when Running Completes. Or use multiple tabs. I always show builds in a tab called Build and debug in a tab named Debug. (They actually use emoji glyphs in the names to make them stand out more; construction sign and bomb respectively.) That way I don't have to keep showing/hiding the Variables & Console panes for the debugger, and can keep the left pane set to a nice wide Debug Navigator. All coding work is done in other tabs.
