My xcode uses 5G ram on my computer (mac os 10.7.5). My mac has 2.7 GHz Interl Core i7 processor, I have 8G memory.
If I open my xcode, I can not do anything. What is wrong with this xcode? anyone can help.
I restarted my computer, I reinstalled the latest xcode, none of these helped. I can not do anything with xcode.
Anyone has any suggestion how to fix the issue. Thanks

If your xcode is consuming that much of RAM and CPU, then surely it is doing few things in background.
Indexing your project. And your project is most likely to be a big one.
Downloading Components and Documentations. Try UnCheck these.

I met the same case, and found out that the "comparing" view would cause the problem(both when committing to SVN and switching to "Show the version Editor" in the Main window)
But until now I don't find any solution after trying to upgrade to 4.6.2, restart and open other projects.

You can try the following steps:
project.xcworkspace.

500%. Is that all? That still leaves 3 cores totally ununtilised :-) – None – 2013-03-20T00:14:27.653
Do you have this usage on every project (I doubt that) or on a specific one ? Check headers imports, project headers search path maybe. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6225603/xcode-4-became-extremely-slow-and-kills-my-hard-drive?rq=1
– None – 2013-03-20T00:16:22.080Have you tried resetting Xcode with
defaults delete com.apple.Xcode; rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Xcode? Make sure to back up the settings first. – nneonneo – 2013-03-20T00:20:26.830No kidding. I am very frustrated about the stupid xcode. – None – 2013-03-20T00:21:06.703
How do I back up settings? I never did that. – None – 2013-03-20T00:22:45.563
For what it's worth, the current Xcode is 4.6.1. – None – 2013-03-20T01:42:26.423
JWWalker. Yes, It is Xcode 4.6.1 – None – 2013-03-20T02:07:00.993
Has Xcode finished indexing your project? I know that the first time I open a project after doing a checkout or clone from a source repository, it takes Xcode forever to index it, and that uses up both disk and CPU. But once it finishes, everything's back to normal. Also, are you compiling a lot of C++? Or mainly Objective-C? It seems to get really bogged down when compiling template-heavy C++, I've noticed. – None – 2013-03-20T04:18:01.573
I don't know why my xcode does indexing all the time, every few mintues, it is indexing my project. I don't think my project is too big. but it is not small either. – Emmy – 2013-03-20T22:46:08.650
If you have a Developer account of any kind with Apple, open a support ticket. – ta.speot.is – 2013-04-27T07:39:04.387
