high cpu usage (above 25%) after upgrade to Evernote 10.52.8.

Consistently high cpu usage (above 25%) after upgrade to Evernote 10.52.8.Anyone experiencing similar issue ?

Just search the forum - you just need to watch for actual threads. 

And it helps nobody just to open the next thread on an issue without even taking a look.

Me too. The fan on my CPU keeps running with noisy all the time.

I have the same problem! It's frying my Mac with more than 100% of CPU time for about 1 day. I'm thinking about ditching Evernote.´

Versions:

10.52.8-mac-ddl-public (3911)
Editor: v164.0.20364
Service: v1.64.1

No advise here, since this is a duplication thread. Look out for other threads about the same issue - there is a lot of advise there.

Yes! EN is overheating my computer after this version without any notes even being open. I understand this is a duplication thread, but it is still helpful to learn other people are having the same issues with this update. Thanks Rajanikanth. (And thanks PinkElephant for advice on this type of thing in other threads.)

I'm using: 10.52.8-win-ddl-public (3911), Editor: v164.0.20364, Service: v1.64.1

What thread - this is the only one I found referencing 10.52.8 being a performance hog. 

Is it possible to downgrade ?

[PinkElephant 8,049]

If you search with „10.52“ and „Mac“ in the forum, you will find 9 threads about the issue, from short to longer.

The root cause seems to be a corrupted local database. The new versions runs against it, and loops.

Use the app AppCleaner to remove everything from the Mac. Restart, install fresh. Log in, it will draw a new copy of your data from the server. I never had the issue, all EN processes together run on appr. 1% in the activity monitor when idle, on 2 Macs.

I had issues searching for other thread concerning 10.52 as well, Olivier. Don't make the error I did. 10.52 cannot be in quotations in search box. Here is a link to the fix on the helpful thread to make it easier for people to find. Read the whole thread for more insights/tips.

This does exactly the removal of the old, presumably corrupted database. But not everybody will feel comfortable with a deep dive into the intestines of the Mac, removing or renaming folders. Uninstalling using the AppCleaner does the same, but in a way every user can follow.

My CPU usage rarely goes over 10% when using EN

This worked for me!

Settings → Preferences → Application → Language → disable "Check spelling while typing"

Same here, it won't stop ventilating unless I close Evernote !! with up-to-date Mac OS and up-to-date Evernote !! What can I do ?

[PinkElephant 8,049]

There are 2 things you can do yourself:

• Disable spell checking
• Get rid of your local database, replace it against one freshly downloaded from the EN server

BTW fully updated means MacOS 13.4.1 and EN 10.58.8. Fully updated indeed ?

[affectski 11]

Yeah, to me this keeps happening on and off. Sometimes it goes away after a restart, then comes back at random.

Here's today's performance on 10.59.5 (Windows) when typing, spellcheck disabled - almost 40% CPU and text takes ages to appear:
