TBH I was shocked at how horrible Xcode runs. If I'm right, I'll just have to put off Xcode development until next year when I plan on buying a new Mini running Apple silicon, but thought I'd ask here about this. I'm thinking this will NOT impact the performance I'm seeing in Xcode as I'm assuming the performance issue is this old i5 2-core processor, not disk access. The shop where I bought this can install (relatively inexpensively) a 512GB SSD to replace this slow HD. Even when I set it to run code manually (I'm new to Swift so I'm just doing Playground coding right now) it slows to a crawl. However, Xcode is another story entirely. I thought the big test of whether this was going to be powerful enough for my needs was the 3D CAD software I run, but that runs just fine. This is my first Mac, and I've been very impressed with how well it performs despite being 8 years old - it's an i5 2-core w/16mb of memory and a 1TB HD.
