Leopard Macbook very slow after waking up from sleep / cron?
- by yairchu
Problem:
Occasionally, my Macbook becomes very slow after waking up from sleep
I open Activity Monitor and notice some processes like makewhatis are taking 100% CPU
I kill the process[es] and then everything works fine again
Questions:
My guess is that these processes are cron jobs. Is that correct?
Is it ok to kill them?
Is there a way to make this problem not happen?
Is this fixed on Snow Leopard?
I'm using Leopard (10.5.8) on a MacBook5,1
