A possible fix for high Finder CPU usage
I noticed this problem in Snow Leopard, but only when I had an open Finder window. The Finder was using about 50% of the total CPU, and the CPU was heating up dramatically (up to 80C) .
A possible fix for high Finder CPU usage
I was wondering about this too. I took my mid-2009 MacBook Pro into my Apple Store because I noticed how slowly the Finder was responding, and I would get a beach ball when switching between Finder windows. My hard drive was indeed failing, but even after replacing it and doing a restore via Migration Assistant (so I would have a fresh copy of Snow Leopard), it was still happening. My MacBook Pro is a top-of-the-line Mac: 3.06 GHz processor, 8 Gb RAM, and 7200 RPM drive, and the nVidia GPU is on. So I didn't think there should be any reason why Finder should be slow on a new machine with a new hard drive. |
