I noticed that my new iMac running MacOS 10.6.1 (and all current
updates) had its Finder using rather a lot of CPU - it seems (now, after
having been left running for several hours) to be using as near to 100%
CPU as it can for a lot of the time.

The processes mds and mdworker were also using noticable CPU when I
first noticed this, and still are.

Can this really be Spotlight indexing? For this long? And if so, how
come the Finder's using so much CPU?

Does anyone have any ideas?

I've pasted in a process sample and list of open files and ports from
the Finder.

Rowland.

Typical open files and ports for the Finder. In the example below, the
file cited near the end (/Users/Shared/Other not computer
stuff/Aerospace/SpaceX/Falcon 1/2005/Falcon1 structural
qualification_files/20050914_spacex_snag_files) has been varying every
few seconds.

And now a process sample also from the Finder, taken just before copying
the above open files and ports list.

Am I right in remembering you use Mailsmith?

Recents builds have been hammering mds and mdsworker but if it is that
and you upgrade to build 307 you should be okay.

Failing that you can delete the spotlight 'thingy' from
/Applications/Mailsmith.app/Contents/Library/Spotlight. That means you
won't have Spotlight index mails though.

I forgot I still had this from the Mailsmith list

Cheers,

Fixes
-----

- Fixed tendency of the Spotlight importer to crash on messages
larger than 16K when running in 64-bit mode.

- Put in some armor plating to resolve a reported crash.

=end=

The new build can be downloaded here:

Yep.

(mdworker here)

Hmm - I've got build 306. What's this about hammering mds and mdworker?

That is, what causes the issue? And how does it relate to the Finder
using mucho CPU?

And it's a bit poor if they've come up with a new version that fixes a
problem without letting it get mentioned via the `automatic update
notifier'.

Heh - nope, the version available for download is still build 306.
Still, here's me with a paid licence for Mailsmith, but the new freebie
version seems to have been churned out broken by default with the usual
sloppy attitude towards fixing bugs. Or is that unnecessarily cynical
of me?

Spotlight's shite. I was told it was much better under 10.5 than under
10.4, and better yet under 10.6. Allegedly.

Well, I've gone from 10.4.11 to 10.6.1.

Spotlight /still/ can't find by filename to an extent that I can expect
it to find the file I'm after. Oh, it can find some files by filename,
but never the one I'm after - I need to use EasyFind for that.

Any OS with a conventional approach to files on disc that fails to
provide a user version of `find file by name' has something badly wrong
with it.

Rowland.

Don't know for sure but Mailsmiths Spotlight plug-in may be catching-up
if it's been crashing on messages up to now.

The other possibility is it wasn't Mailsmith but that's maybe the most
likely for now.
