| 1) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Wishlist for Mac
Message 55749 Posted 30 Aug 2014 by John Trautschold |
I've got the same problem you do Suzie-Q, but on my iMac. I'm am not running Yosemite (yet) - still using Mavericks, and about 3 or 4 weeks ago my system also slowed way down. I too was able to eliminate the slowdown by shutting off the BOINC Manager. What made the slowdown even worse was running the BOINC screensaver. Shutting down the screensaver made a difference, but did not eliminate the problem. Until this problem occurred, I was running BOINC 24/7 with the screensaver active. The only time I'd "snooze" it was when I was doing processor-intensive work, such as editing with Final Cut Pro X. I'm also running the latest version of the manager, 7.2.42, but the problem did not occur when updating to that version (which I think has been out for awhile now). Something else has changed. Until this problem is solved I won't be running the program. So, I agree with all of your "wishes", especially #3 since you are NOT the only person having this problem! I wish it was fixed too - and soon! John |
