Xcode slowdown and Crashes

Hey guys so I am currently learning Swift using the playground in Xcode. But every few minutes I get a multi-colored progress bar which renders Xcode unusable. I then have to restart Xcode which causes me to lose unsaved data. It's really terrible and causing me a lot of stress. Any suggestions or tips to solve this? Thanks really appreciate it.

Nikil,

What Version of Xcode are you running? & what OS X Version?

OS X Yosemite Xcode 6.3.2 Both latest stable versions

Are you running other things in the background?

Also is When Xcode crashes does it give you an error message?

*I'm only guessing here but it sounds like your running out of memory.

1st: Chrome sometimes Spotify 2nd: Yes

Try and capture that error message next time and post it here.

sorry I don't know how
