MDS runs alot with Logos 4 even after it is indexed

I notice that a huge amount of my cpu is used up alot of the time Logos 4 Mac Alpha (8) is running by the application or process MDS.

I know mds is something to do with spotlight so I have checked and it seems the little magnifying glass for spotlight seems to say nothing about indexing. There is no logos icon in the title bar so it isnt indexing yet it seems consistanly that the mds app runs for spotlight when logos is open and i have never noticed this with another application.

Is it possible that spotlight indexes the content of logos 4 I know Logos 4 indexes itself but this is outside of Logos 4.

It doesnt do it all the time but regularly and it seems to not be a once only thing after a logos update.

I know this is an OSX thing (10.6.2 on my system) just seems curious that it tends to only happen when logos is running at random times and sure kills performance the fans go nuts and the heat goes up.

Maybe others have noticed this (you need to pop open activity monitor to see this or like me run the free iStat menu pro app that runs in the menu bar and displays things like cpu usagae and temp etc)

Spotlight does not index L4 books. I have not had any slowdowns with Spotlight in any Alpha release, so I am sot sure if there is any connection. Sorry can't help more.

It doesnt actually seem to slow logos 4 down at all You just notice the cpu usage going up to 60 - 70% at various times and most people would more than likely notice the funs kicking up and the system warming up especially on a laptop mines a 2.33ghz macbookpro

thanks

There are still memory leaks in the Alpha and optimization wont happen until much later when more the the bugs get squashed. Even during the Beta testing phase of L4win, there was a big improvement so I am confident as we get down the road this will get optimized.

Blessings and glad you are here to help out.
