X-Fi Extreme Music & high CPU usage?!

)Hello!
I think, I have this problem since i upgraded drivers for my X-Fi. More or less, everything works fine (in games, programs, music...), but when i try to make a video or voice conversation over skype, gmail or msn, CPU hover on around 80% ?!?! When i disable card in Device manager, all those aplications works fine.
I have:
C2D E6750? 2,66GHz
MB: Gigabyte 965P S3
3GB DDR2
ATI HD 3870
Logitech Camera
Windows 7 32bit
I think it's not the computer beacuse i had the same sound card in my older and much, much weaker computer and than was working fine with old drivers, but not with new ones. And I think that there are any older drivers for Win7.
Please, any ideas?

I've never had pictures of the mod, as it is it wouldn't show up vey well in a photograph, not to mention that every front panel board is different from one manufacturer to another. Mine came with my Gigabyte Aurora case, but Gigabyte probably didn't manufacture the circuit board itself.
I had the noise problem when I first tried out my new Bose headphones with it and knew I needed to fix it. The main issue is the metal mounting studs that attach the board to the case front cause a ground loop with the grounds coming in from the sound card, as well as the motherboard USB headers. Having all these grounds just connected together like that is the root of the problem. By far the worst issue is the studs being connected to the foils on the board. Scraping the foil off the board where it makes contact with the studs will probably fix most of the noise. Next, cutting a gap in the foils between the incoming grounds from the sound card and USB headers will clean up more noise. If properly done, and all plugs removed from their headers, there will be an OPEN connection between any one ground wire and another, as well as there will be an OPEN between the chassis (case) and any of the ground wires. The ground wires coming from the headers should show a good connection to their appropriate socket ground on the front panel, but again, an OPEN between each other.

  • Microsoft Office 2004 -- extremely high cpu usage and virtual ram

    hi,
    when i use office it causes a very high cpu usage even when its in idle mode.
    i am unable to work with it, because its extremely slow.
    does anyone have same experiences?
    thanks for your help!
    mbp 2.0 1,5gb ram 80gb hdd   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I am able to work OK with office, I'm using the 'old version' Microsoft Office v.X, not much details in the About Box, just listed as MSoft Word/Excel/etc for Mac service release 1.
    I get the occasional crash, and I have seen Word in particular use 90% of a single core and amazingly large virtual memory usage, gigabytes sometimes, but eventually the document gets printed.
    It shows how useful the dual core (or quad) cpu approach is!
    One cpu for Word to print, and one cpu to run the rest of my applications/life!
    I still use this old office rather than re-booting into Window§ for whatever is the latest version of office.
    Doing some playing with a similar one page document in Office v.X and Pages 2.01, I get Word using about 25% of a core , Pages using 5%, - whilst editing; Intel native Pages has 20% of a core and 80MB ram 480 virtual whilst printing, Word has about 100% of a core and 65MB ram 650 virtual whilst printing, but it is a powerPC code so Rosetta is in there somewhere.
    check Activity Monitor or other apps/widgets for some parasitic processes? have fun!

  • High CPU usage - Rapid Battery Drain - Running HOT

    Looking for help.. PLEASE!
    Z10 - Model STL100-3 Software release 10.2.1.2179
    Symptoms;
    Occasionally, and for no apparent reason, I notice my Z10 getting hot in my pocket. I run the device monitor App and see a very high CPU usage, which consequently drains the batter very quickly.
    I've tried all the solutions from every support group thread and blog. And I mean ALL!
    Pulling the battery
    Replaced the battery
    Removed the SIM
    Deleted G Mail
    Removed all 3rd party Apps (2)
    Stopped email sync
    Stopped calendar sync
    Turned off all radio
    Turned Off Wi-Fi
    Let it sit for hours, even days to let it finish doing whatever its trying to do
    Etc Etc Etc.
    Finally, I called BB support, they wanted $50 to talk to someone. I told them the issue, they said the device is bad and must be replaced. I said its software related!! They said.. no, its a hardware issue. Device is under warranty and they want me to just go get a new one. I don't want a new one, I want a fix! Stop the waste of BB $
    Temporary solution
    Eventually, I decided I would do a restore, back to the factory settings, and here's when I found something
    I run BB Link, connect the device, do a back-up... and LOW AND BEHOLD.. this fixes the high CPU usage and the device runs great, very cool, low cpu and extremely long battery life.
    Sadly! .. this problem reoccurs, after a few days, sometimes after a couple of weeks and just out of the blue.
    I can force this fault to occur, simply by doing a restart of the device. Sure enough, it will run hot, use all the cpu and I will have to do a back-up to get it to settle down again. I've tried to wait for the so called 'indexing' to finish, but it never stops running with high cpu and doesn't help.
    Can any one tell me whats happening and how to make this a permanent fix?
    There are hundreds if not thousands of people having very similar issues, and many different methods to fix it. Its my belief that there is an underlying bigger problem that relates to all these differing fixes, but as yet.. I cant find it and none of these fixes work for me. For now... I will keep doing the occasional back-up and hope I get a response that can help.
    Thanks to all that read this.

    The heat may be normal. After a little water damage incident, which I repaired, I disassembled my Z10 the find a small heat sink will thermal compound. This helps dissipate heat efficiently. I found a large number of air bubbles and possibly a large air pocket by the way the paste stuck to both sides. I removed the old paste and replaced it with artic silver paste and the z10 has been much much cooler. It use to run about 105*f and now it is around 85*f.
    See this thread I posted for before and after pictures using a thermal imager.

    @Curve8530 .....as much a s your discovery is appreciated, I hardly believe that most people will actually dismantle their phone to remove the paste and replace with arctic silver. Besides, what you are doing is not a fix for the actual problem....
    In most cases, this heat is associated with apps using the CPU resources beyond the normal limits.
    As an easy fix, finding and removing the app(s) in question followed by a reboot, solves the issue. In some cases an OS reload is necessary.... but under no circumstances I would even remotely suggest to any member to dismantle their phone and do what you did...     

  • High CPU usage (more than 100%) while running video applications

    Hello everyone,
    I desperately need help with this.
    I have a late 2007 White Macbook running Mac OS X 10.6.8 :
    Model Name:          MacBook
      Model Identifier:          MacBook2,1
      Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed:          2 GHz
      Number Of Processors:          1
      Total Number Of Cores:          2
      L2 Cache:          4 MB
      Memory:          3 GB
      Bus Speed:          667 MHz
    The issue that I am having is, whenever I play a video (Netflix/Silverlight player, YouTube, Skype, etc.) the CPU usage shoots up above 100% and the video or the video chat becomes VERY choppy. It becomes impossible to keep going once that starts. Originally I had 1Gb RAM (512 + 512) ... then I upgraded to (1GB + 512mb) ... it was fine for about a year and then started chocking on memory... so recently I made it (1GB +2GB) and that's when this high CPU  usage thing started (according to my knowledge)
    I have had this machine since last 4 years and its very dear to me. I dont wanna buy a new one. I will really appreciate if someone could help.

    I am spending sleepless nights, researching for a fix. From what I found so far, a considerable amount of people were able to fix this issue by simple cleaning the insides of their machines using air dusters, especially the fans. I don't know how cleaning would help with CPU utilization, but by interpolation, I feel it's worth a try. At least it will be clean, if not perfectly functional. lol
    Now the next big challenge ahead of me is getting the screws on my Macbook open. I was following the Fan Repair Guide on ifixit.com. I went and got the #00 Phillips screwdriver as suggested in the guide... came home and found out the screwdriver is too big.... went back got a #0000 Phillips (I also found out that screwdrivers with same number might be of different sizes in different stores)... got a couple of screws out and then--- another road-block!! there are a few extremely tiny Phillips screws on my macbook. Now I am hunting for the smallest Phillips screwdriver in the world. Hopefully, I will find it in some watch repair or eye-glasses repair kit in a store such as CVS or Walgreens... aaaah... this is sooo frustrating!!! I just want to get his done so that I can check it off the list of probable solutions that I want to try. Will update here if this works.
    From what you say, I think that the Silverlight upgrade might be the culprit in my case too. But the effect is there also for Youtube, Skype , or any other Video/Graphics intensive application that I use. Although, Silverlight/Netflix performs the worst among all the apps.
    I love my Macbook... don't want to part with it.

  • Skype 4.2.0.11 has abnormally high CPU usage while...

    Skype 4.2.0.11 has abnormally high CPU usage while idle.
    I can't get my laptop under 70 degrees celsius unless I cpulimit or quit skype, and cpulimiting it actually makes it completely unresponsive, as if some other thread is constantly generating a lot of work and taking priority over the UI thread.
    What the heck is skype doing? (And why do any of its threads need nice -10?) It takes up more CPU time than pulseaudio, truecrypt, and deluged combined.
    Its CPU usage is constantly between 5 and 50 percent*, it's absolutely horrible.
    *While idle. I'm unable to make calls.
    I know this is expected from a linux user, but for all I know, Skype is malware. It's not open-source, so I can't find out for myself, and there are no open-source alternatives so the frankly shameful amount of bugs I encounter in Skype will never be fixed.
    There are several bugs I'd love to be fixed in Skype, but first, PLEASE, optimize your code. It's absolutely horriffic at the moment.

    Attached are statistics from my desktop over approximately a 24 hour period for the processes shown (other than firefox and adb).
    Pulseaudio tops skype this time but that's because I've had music playing through mpd for a few hours. Skype uses more than 16 times the CPU that pidgin does, and almost double the RAM! RAM isn't shown in the screenshot but take my word for it. Bear in mind that I haven't taken (or made) any calls in this period of time, and pidgin has been signed into three different services and using encrypted chat.
    I really wish that at least the protocol would be documented so someone could work around this, at the moment I don't think the guys writing skype realize just how unstable the linux port is. At least it's better than the Android port.
    [Edit for those unfamiliar with linux processes: "TIME" is the cumulative time that the program has been scheduled for on any core, effectively making it a measure of total CPU usage for a given time period]

  • Unusually high cpu usage with iMovie 6.0.3

    I'm having trouble with very high cpu-usage. Just the open imovie app is taking up about 50%, during playback it sometimes peaks over 100%! The project file is pretty big (about 30 gig), but that is mainly because of the amount of footage imported into it. The movie itself is about 25 minutes in length. There is some audio editing going on: some soundeffects, musicfiles (no drm-protection), audio commentary that i recorded within imovie. I know that imovie has trouble when there is a lot of audio/audio editing involved and this project is probably a little more complex than other stuff i did in imovie, but i never had such problems. i can hardly use playback anymore. I recently updated Quicktime to 7.6.4 and Perian to version 1.2.1. Any ideas what's going on or how to work around the problems? Since the movie is about 80% finished i don't really want to start all over again. Thanks in advance for your input!

    Hi Klaus1
    I have several plug-ins by cfx and the slick volumes 4, 6 8 and 10. I can post a list of all of them if you like. Up to now they never made any trouble, but you'll never know...
    The edit in the timeline is about 25 minutes long. But the project file contains captured dv-footage of about 2 hours, so that alone adds up to something like 26 GB. Then there are a few rendered effect-clips done with some of the plug-ins like stabilizing or color correction which also add to the 30 GB, as well as some audio-files (some music, my voice-over commentary). I emptied the trash several times while working on the movie. At this moment there are only a few MB of erased audio in it.
    It all sounds a bit like this is an insanely huge and complex project, but as i said, i have done projects like this in imovie without the massive cpu-usage. I'd like to continue to use imovie, but if this problem keeps coming up with future projects, i might as well take the step and switch to Final Cut Express.
    For now I will try your idea of exporting the movie as it is now and open it in a new project file.
    Thanks for your help and input so far!

  • ITunes 10.6 has High CPU Usage when switched to Mini Player

    iTunes has high CPU usage when switched to mini player. The CPU usage goes to 80-100% when the next song is played in Mini Player. iTunes then stays at high CPU usage.
    Upon exiting mini player the CPU usage will drop back to the normal 0-5% levels.
    This only happens when playing from the main music library; which my library is at 7089 items, 42.04 GB.
    When playing from a smaller playlist such as a smart playlist with about 15 songs in it for example, the CPU usage stays low/normal.

    Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
    From the notes for the release:
    iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
    • Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
    • Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
    • Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
    • Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

  • Database file + high cpu usage

    this has only started happening since i formatted and reinstalled windows. i have tried using both itunes 6.0.2.23 and 6.0.4.2 and both have the same problem.
    my music library contains 5088 songs, i have tried deleting heaps down to around 3400 and problem is still there (ie i have eliminated number of songs as a factor cause before formatting i had more than 3400 but less than 5088)
    when i play a song in itunes after about 5 seconds my cpu usage will jump to 100% this is on the "system" process, itunes itself uses around 2-5%. i was watching the itunes music folder though, and what it is doing is creating a new temp file (of 7.27mb) then renaming it to replace the current "itunes music library.xml" file. as soon as the xml file is replaced (takes about 10 seconds) cpu usage returns to normal.
    this exact same thing happens when i quit itunes, although it takes roughly 20 seconds.
    i have tried deleting all files in the itunes music folder apart from the base database file, that did nothing.
    i tried removing the entire folder and letting it create a new blank library, then added just 1 album, and it worked perfectly. i also noticed that on my original library most but not all AAC encoded files did not cause the cpu spike, all mp3s did.
    i tried creating an entire blank library and adding all my music back in, it still did high cpu usage so i would assume my current database is not corrupted.
    does anyone know a solution to this? how to stop it recreating the xml file with every song played. the only thing important to me is saving my playcounts, so any solution which does not require losing them would be appreciated.
    also yes i have tried completely uninstalling itunes, for both of the versions mentioned above, also tried updating over the top of the current installation, problem occurs everytime.
    i am running service pack 2, all current windows updates installed, no spyware, no viruses.
    thanks.

    It may be iTunes, but it probably is not. iTunes is just affected by a conflict with another program (possibly).
    Do you have a spy sweeper/virus scanner/etc. that periodically scans your PC memory? If so, then that is what may be interacting with iTunes.
    You should list the iTunes Folders as part of the exclusions within your Virus Scanners, and other Security software.
    BTW: I have a Library with over 13,000 song references. I do not see the same CPU spikes when playing music. It's not the size of the database - not at your current level.

  • Screen Sharing freezing and high CPU usage

    Hello all,
    I use screen sharing to remote my mac mini as a media server connected to ma HD TV to play movies, music and surf.
    Since I upgrade to mavericks on my macs (Macbook Pro Retina and my Mac Mini) I have some troubles with the screen sharing feature.
    No problems with the login step, the connexion is fast, all permissions are OK (I saw there were a bug with some RDP release) but sometimes, when I use fullscreen software as VLC, Firefox, etc (not the native apple full screen feature, I just clic on the + at the top of the window), my sreen sharing freeze and I can't do or move anything on the remoted mac mini. I'm unable to close (or reduce) the screen sharing app too, it's totaly busy (But I can see the movie or the website on the 2 computer, there is no deconnection)... I have to kill the process through the monitoring activity.
    During the freezing time, I try to use vnc light from my Iphone and I have no problem, I can move the mouse, reduce le VLC windows... As soon I reduce the VLC windows, the screen sharing works again. I also use the logitech TouchMouse to remote the mouse, everything work fine.
    Here are a screen shot of the monitoring activity of the Mac running the screen sharing app, we can see that there is a very high CPU usage when I use VLC in fullscreen on my mac mini. The first is in normal mode. The second is in freeze mode. Screen Sharing is named "Partage d'écran".
    Can someone help me to fix that, everything works fine with Mountain Lion.

    I have a Macbook Pro 13.5" 2.8 GHz 4 core (2 real, 2 hyperthreaded) i7 machine running with 1920X1200 display, 3 virtual screens and VMWare adding a few virtual screens (full sized).  I have another Macbook Pro 15" with 2.6 GHz Haswell 8 core (4 real, 4 hyperthreaded).  I see the problem using Screen Sharing on the 15 inch (Retina screen) mode simulating 1920 X 1200 pixels using Screen Sharing to the 13.5" Macbook Pro.
    When I get the ScreenSharing problem, I have identified it as related to the VMWare screen on the 13.5" Macbook Pro being shown through Screen Sharing on the Retina Screen.  Before you conclude it is a VMWare problem, the computations are only on the Screen Sharing client side, not on the server side running VMWare.  The mouse gets unusable through Screen Sharing.  If I physically move the mouse on the 13.5" Macbook, no problem.  If I switch virtual screens, the Screen Sharing goes to normal processing.
    I see an appearance of a compute-bound thread on the Screen Sharing client.  It takes 100% CPU on one thread, the machine as a whole is 12.5% busy (the performance monitor considers all 8 threads as equal when in fact, they are not).
    A few more pieces of information.  The VMWare client ends up having a lot of overlapping windows with a lot of changing graphics.  My mouse runs into problems especially when it is overlaying a changing plot (Perfmon running in Windows 7, or updating email client).  It does turn out that VMWare has a "native" VNC server built-in and I tried to connect to the virtual screen using the Screen Sharing Client on the machine with computing problem and voila!, no problem.  I end up having a Screen Sharing Client running native running screen (supposed to be VNC, but I have not verified that) sharing protocol on a virtual screen that is NOT the VMWare virtual screen and a separate session using actual VNC protocol using the VMWare VNC server.  It works perfectly fine.
    If I may hazard a guess, I think I know what the bug is, or at least, what is the nature of the problem that I have.  The rest of you may have a different bug.  When I have difficulty, it is because I am on a window that suppresses the dock, both in remote virtual screen and on the local machine showing the screen.  Two docks are suppressed, one remote, one local.  Throw in overlapping windows with changing graphics in the overlapped windows and toss in a mouse on top of that.  I think that the Screen Sharing is trying to refresh overlapping windows with mouse and going through the suppressed dock calculations and never converging on what the picture should be.  The mouse ends up being the visible cue that shows the time frame for iterating the windows - flickers with a timeframe of greater than a second.  That is far greater than the screen update time.  It is totally compute bound with all the overlapping stuff that it is deconflicting.  At least, that is what I think is going on.
    Meanwhile, the VMWare VNC server appears to send out a single graphics context and causes the Screen Sharing client to converge to a picture.  Note, the mouse appearance is very different when attaching to the VMWare VNC Server rather than the ScreenSharing native server.  I see two mouse renderings, the virtual machine remote and a mouse rendering from my Screen Sharing client side.  They are mostly in sync in position unless I move the mouse very quickly.  If I use Screen Sharing client and server instead, I usually see only one mouse, the client side's mouse rendering.
    I have a solution for my problem.  It is similar to using a different VNC server/client pairing.  I will use a VNC server for the systems giving me trouble that is not Screen Sharing Server exercising a probable bug in the Client (though, it could be a problem in the design of Screen Sharing itself).

  • High CPU usage since last 48 hours

    hi,
    i'm experiencing a high cpu usage relating to "System" since last 48 hours. i'm also unable to open the Pictures or Music. It says "Scanning Device Storage" but seems never will end.
    i've my phone restarted many times but changed nothing. i'm currently recharging my phone 2 times a day and i'm worried about the heat it's getting.
    i'm also worried about the large size of data being out of my phone! is it a security issue?
    (down bounds of the battery usage showing the phone on charge!)

    Remove your media card and do a powered on, battery pull reboot. Reinsert your media card and see if the issue persists.
    For the #Z30 model,
    On your BlackBerry10 device with a non-removable battery:
    Restart: With your BlackBerry powered ON, press and hold the upper edge power button a couple seconds and the tap the lower right RESTART.
    or,
    Reboot: With your BlackBerry powered ON, using the side edge volume keys, press and hold down both of the Up and Down volume keys for about 20 seconds, ignoring the initial screenshot message... the screen will go black and reboot.

  • FMS 4 configuration / High CPU usage problem

    I am seeing extremly high CPU usage issues with the FMS 4 server.  It seems to be a problem with the FMS Edge process?  If you start and stop the service, the processor goes back to normal operations.

    Thanks, Tandrist

    Hi
    Can you please provide us some little more environment information on this issue, like:
      - what were you trying to do when you saw this issue, if there was a live telecast or if that was a simple vod workflow?
    - What publisher application were you using to send livestream to FMS?
    -  were you also doing some kind of recording while doing live streaming??
    - In case of live streaming what audio/video encoding and bitrates was there in use?
    - how many number of connections were there?
    - What amount of cpu and mem usage was there (when you say very high cpu usage).. you can see it using task manager
    It will help if you can also share your fms logs (inside fms_install_folder/logs) so that we can see if something abnormal was going on there..

  • Skype vdeo call and high cpu usage on Mac

    Hello,
    I have seen many posts around skype video call causing extremely high CPU usage which in turn causes a lot of heat and fan starts to go crazy. This does not seem to happen on Windows. I have trawled various forums and tried everything but to no avail.
    Finally the workaround that worked for me was simple - during a call when CPU usage is going through the roof and the fans going crazy - just share your screen for a few seconds with the caller and then unshare. CPU usage dramatically falls off and stabilises at around 38% to 40%. I have noticed this my Macbook Pro (2013 2.3ghz, 16gb RAM) running Yosemite.
    This is definitely a problem with Skype. Guys; please fix....

    Did the sharing and unsharing of screen stabilise your CPU usage? I also tried deleting the Library/Caches/com.skype* directory and whilst it helped initially, in the long run it did not work. The only thing that worked for me was sreen share and unshare.
    Personally I am just getting more and more disappointed with OS X. The way they have implemented HiDPI support with scaling (downscaling and then upscaling) is just insane and a lot of applications struggle. I am sure this is not the root cause of the high CPU usage issue for Skype. It's not long before I come off the Apple ecosystem altogether.

  • Config Manager Agent - after Hardware Inventory High CPU Usage with WMIPRSVE and very fast empty Battery

    Hi there,
    since a few days there is on some machines (40-60) a high cpu usage on one core (quad core cpu machines) with the WMIPRSVE.EXE if the HARDWARE INVENTORY CYCLE started.
    i try out some tests, read some forum articles and troubleshooting the WMI management but a real problem i doesn´t see.
    in some articles i read that hardware inventory runs about minutes up to more hours but some machines runs longer, someone more as 1 day.
    here an example of mine PC:
    at 8:07 i started Hardware Inventory Cycle, in the InventoryAgent.log i can see that some Collection Namespace are captured.
    after a few minutes there stopped and does nothing round about 5.9 hours or better, after 21436.097 Seconds.
    For any hints i am grateful. :)

    Looks like something in one or both of those wmi queries.  it goes from 8:10:03 to 14:06:43 right around there.  6 hours to do that... 
    try running those queries from wbemtest manually; and see which one just never finishes.

  • Google Earth Plugin and LabVIEW: High CPU usage when adding placemarks

    Hi,
    I posted this question on stackoverflow earlier this week but feel it might be better suited to the LabVIEW community specifically so I'm reposting here:
    I'm writing an application which uses the Google Earth Plugin to display events on the globe. Each event is a single point kml placemark with an icon which is a 3kb png file. Placemarks are uploaded to the plugin as they are received by the software. I am experiencing increasing CPU usage with the number of placemarks that are added.
    I have tested displaying a new placemark every second and running until the software running the plugin completely froze (graph attached). The GEPlugin (green trace) stopped responding (i.e. the globe did not respond to the mouse) at around 1200 placemarks added and CPU usage was at ~30%. When the software itself (red trace) froze the plugin was using around 50% CPU and ~3700 placemarks had been added). After the freeze, no new placemarks were added which caused the software to respond (but not the plugin) so I could clear all the placemarks. After the placemarks were cleared from the globe, the CPU usage of the plugin returned to around 5% CPU.
    So what I've seen is that GEPlugin CPU usage increases linearly with each kml placemark added. Is this the expected behaviour/ a normal limitation of the plugin? If not is there a more efficient way of adding many placemarks to the globe?
    I am using GEPlugin version 7.1.1.1580 (API version 1.010) and LabVIEW 12.0f3
    Please see the test results attached. Any input greatly appreciated!

    Hello,
    I have had a look at your graphs and understood what you are trying to do. To me it seems that as the image gets more complex it gets harde to render which wold likely cause increase in CPU usage resulting in the freeze. I would suggest you try running the program on anoher computer to check on the RAM front of things. If this is a limitation of the GE Plugin then unfortunately I can not do much to help, but if you think this is a problem coming from your LabVIEW code then you can post your code here and I can take a look.

  • Since 10.4.6 Update: "ATSServer" with high CPU-usage when opening PDFs

    Since I've updated to 10.4.6 my system is very slow when I open PDFs (in "Preview" or "Acrobat").
    This is caused by the process "ATSServer" which goes through every file in "~/Library/Fonts" (I have over 4.800 files there - but just a view are activated by "FontBook") and so it takes very high CPU-usage.
    I didn't have this problem bevore the update and I didn't make any changes on my font settings.
    I've cleaned the font cache, but it doesn't help.
    Any ideas?

    I haven't noticed any change myself, Dan, but I have the 2 GHz model.
    One thing I HAVE noticed though after OS updates is that they can often result in a fair amount of file and free space fragmentation immediately after installation. OSX's routines will deal with fragmentation of small files , but not of large ones (over 20 Meg), and it won't deal very effectively with free space fragmentation. If your HD is getting full this can cause significant slowdowns, especially where video is involved.
    You should also run DiskUtility and check for any directory and permissions issues.
