The disaster of S-L-O-W T-Y-P-I-N-G that plagued Xcode several years ago returns.

I guess all the ultra-advanced LLM neuroneirowebs still can't advise those at Apple who develop the Xcode app how to provide this uber-exotic, unheard-of functionality: JUST TYPING THE CODE.

This disaster doesn't affect all projects, but it does affect the exact one I'm working on, and I need to type a lot of code there. Significant time is already wasted.

I performed all the recommended steps like relaunching, restarting, and deleting deprived data with no effect.

Hope something can be done about it..

By now I also found out that while I have this problem on my main Mac Studio machine, there's no issue on my MacBook Pro to which I copied the project as is. Same latest Xcode installed.

I added this info to the submitted bug and hope it can help Apple engineers to get to the bottom of the problem.

Same here. MacBook Apple M4 Max, 64 GB, latest macOS, latest Xcode, Swift project, not too big, simple Swift plus some libraries. Just typing in the editor is a pain in...

Do you see the same problem with the Xcode 27 beta that we just seeded?

I’ve no reason to believe that this is fixed, but there are a lot of changes in Xcode 27 beta so it’d be interesting to see if any of them affected this issue.
