(Archived) Mac 2.0 beta - CPU usage problem

[nitinbadjatia 0]

I just installed the beta on a brand new MacBook Air 13", top of the line configuration. The Air's fan rarely kicks on, even when I've got video running, but it did the moment Evernote ran. I checked CPU usage, and both cores were above 85%! The reached 100% and stayed there for a long time. Any idea what may be causing this?

It's hard to say for sure. Viewing or adding PDF files can generate some CPU activity, particularly for strange semi-broken PDFs that cause problems in Preview, too.

The only way to know for sure would be to run the Activity Monitor application while Evernote is having extended usage, and then select our application and Sample the process activity. If this is a reproduceable problem for you (i.e. not just something that's happened once or twice for a minute or two), we could take a look at that output.

Quick update on this issue. It seems that huge increase in CPU cycles goes away after a few minutes. I guess it was caused by re-indexing or something.

All's well now!

Though you're on the Mac, this column from a Microsoft developer relates: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2010/12/03/10097861.aspx. Glad that your CPU's gotten a breather.
