lewdogg9908y@githelp I have the same... I did upgrade to 8GB. I run tons of services and use xcode all the time. The ram makes a difference. -
hcaz19528yWhy not upgrade your laptop and run OSX in a VM? I am pretty certain apple even lets you do this if it's only used for development

If you're wondering why your Mac is slow as sh*t, be advised that it's playing Chess during it's free time. -

Well, I just wasted £250. I needed a Mac to build iOS apps so I got the newest Mac Mini with lowest specs (I’m still a student). I thought that 4GB would be enough as my laptop runs fine with 4 but NOPE.
ITS SUPER SLOW, XCode takes >10 minutes to even launch and RAM is always at max, I even had to get the Mac Mini without upgradable ram.
I worked all summer just to get a Mac which is sluggish, :/.
