A fix for system slowness with locally-run Server
Authored by: martyg555 on Feb 15, '07 04:39:06PM

I searched Spotlight for webperfcach. It was not there. Statement for going to Applications/Server. My Home Library has no such location. Please give more details. I takes a very long time to load an email selection from VersionTracker. I have a Power Mac G5 with dual 2.7 gig processors.

webperfcache

webperfcache isn't a .app program, it's a UNIX service that's unique to OS X.

If you're using OS X client (the "regular" version of OS X), don't worry that you don't have a folder called Server inside your main Applications folder -- /Applications/Server/ contains applications that control parts of Mac OS X Server, but are otherwise of no use. (If, on the other hand, you're running OS X Server and you don't have an /Applications/Server/ folder, then something's probably wrong.)

If you're serving locally, using the /Users/~username/Sites folder, I don't believe that webprfcache is on by default. If your machine is running slowly, either open /Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor or type top -u in the Terminal and you can find out what's hogging your CPUs.
