I just bought myself a brand new iMac 5K and installed xCode 7.1 and everything was working just fine.

I bought my new iMac because the old one was getting slow and xCode was extremely slow. Both 7.1 beta 3 and the final version.

So on my new mac I enabled linenumbers as I useally do and enabled code ribbons.

Suddently xCode on my new Mac is also very slow.

Diabling linenumber and code ribbons did not help a bit.

So i tried to uninstall xCode and install it again.

I tried to delete everthing but every time I install it again i remembers my old projects and is still very slow.

I make a living by programming Apps and I need xCode to be NOT slow.

So does anybodey how I can remove xCode completely and be sure that everything is gone?

I just paid a lot of money for a new iMac and could just have used the old one.

Now restart your xcode and enjoy better performance.

Note that a lot of feature in Xcode will either not work as expected, or at all, when there's no indexing data available. Indexing will consume resources while it processes the files in your project, but after that it should not slow down your machine or use of Xcode. If that's not what you observe, you should collect performance data and file a bug report so that your issue can be investigated and addressed.
