Hi,

I have been testing Xcode 27 beta 2 on macOS 27 beta 2 on a MacBook Air M2 (base model) with 16 GB of memory. When loading previews for the first time, it could take a while, but it looks significantly longer compared to Xcode 26.x on macOS 26.x.

Then when trying to launch a simple app with a few screens, the Device Hub takes forever, and then on Activity Monitor, the swap used starts to climb up, almost as high as 12 GB or more. Running an app on Device Hub is almost impossible.

Is this a limit of what a MacBook Air can do? This is not my primary machine by the way.
