I downloaded manually, as suggested. The manual install took a while too but went well.
It did not help with the other ongoing install.
Even after a reboot.
I searched a bit and found suggestion deleting some ~/Library/Caches files may help.
I deleted files in relation to store (app store).
Rebooted.
Launch Pad was showing an empty progress bar for a short while and then disappear.
Now XCode shows as "GET" on the app store.
But now, at least, installd is not eating up 120% CPU...
thanks.
