Took about a two week break from development and came back this week to hit it hard again. xCode is CRAWLING. When it opens it takes FOREVER – 5+ minutes – and then every time I click on anything in the GUI the “cursor colorwheel” spins for 2+ minutes. I tried deleting my .xcodeproj file with no effect. Been reading various posts and the net but can’t find anything that improves my situation. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Just to check I would use Time Machine and go back in time a while, then check Xcode again. If this happens with all projects – even with a new one – then certainly there is sth wrong in general. Check your HD and other progs, also check with activity meter if Xcode is really doing sth.
Anyway, I am currently working on an app with about 200k line and about 15 MB target size. I can use Xcode 4.2 without any delay.
ps once before with XCode 4.0 I experienced sth similar, however, even with a much smaller app. After even trying with Apple support it turned out that for some reason my installation was corrupt and could not be cleaned up. I had to install another Version of Xcode than everything was OK again.
