Significant OS X Finder lag when listing directories/files
- by Jack Sleight
I'm experiencing some significant OS X finder lag, that seems to be purely an issue with Finder itself, and not the HD or any other part of OS X (I'll explain below). The lag only appears to be when listing directories/files, where I'm seeing up to twelve or so seconds of lag (the folder opens with a blank list and the spinner going in the bottom right).
This happens with both the local SSD and network drives (connected via ethernet or wifi)
Browsing both local and network drives in terminal and listing directories is instant
I can actually browse files on my NAS from my phone over a 3G connection from the other side of the country faster than Finder can when connected to the local network (madness!)
Can anyone help? Thanks.
