Xcode eats power.
- ChrisMarshallNY 4y agoI'll take your word for it. Most of my time is spent on a tethered machine. I also suspect that it depends on what is being done. I'll bet that some types of languages compile hot, while others, cool. UPDATE: I just ran Xcode, doing my basic daily tasks (editing and building), using Activity Monitor, and it was pretty mild. It had a HUGE spike, as it started up, then dropped into single- and double-digits, after that.
- kitsunesoba 4y agoI wonder if it depends on the codebase in question. I've not had too much trouble with Xcode being power hungry on moderately-sized codebases that are entirely or almost entirely idiomatic Swift with Swift Package Manager handling dependencies. I could see this being different for a project that's a mix of Swift, Objective-C, C++, etc though or has a lot of messier Swift code of the sort that makes SourceKit grumpy (deeply nested blocks, etc).
