A possible fix for high Finder CPU usage
Authored by: diamondsw on Dec 13, '04 10:38:00AM
I'm sorry, but I don't see this as a hint. There was a CPU spike that might have been fixed by deleting one of three different plist files? We could sit here all day with stories of fixing things with the so-called "shotgun approach".

I'll place bets - 95% on the Finder plist, 4% on the SystemUIServer plist (menu extras), and 1% on the LoginWindow plist.

A possible fix for high Finder CPU usage

In my case, I consulted the cargo cult, and it was the finder plist that fixed it.

Interesting comment below about Nikon stuff. I've got about 4G of Nikon digital pictures on my disk...
