At one time I found it quite painful to edit source code with Xcode. I was told that was due to Xcode using the Cocoa text widget.
Consider that Lightspeed C worked just fine, snappy and responsive, on my 6 MHz 68000 Mac 512k (or was it 8 MHz). I myself did a lot of the work on Working Software's QuickLetter, which used the same CoreEdit styled text engine as MacWrite. When I ran into its developers at a WWDC, I shouted "We owe you sixty thousand dollars!" "No worries," one of them replied, "Say 'Hi' to Dave for us." While somewhat buggy QuickLetter was quite perfomant on System 6.5 on a Mac Plus. It stopped being buggy after I'd been working for WSI for a while. A real good way to get performance problems out of code, is for that code's developers to use the very slowest computers they possibly can as their development machines.
