Beta 2 causes performance issues on OS X

[Seb_Duggan]

I have CF Builder Beta 2 (standalone version) installed on a Mac Pro with OS X 10.6.1 and 10GB RAM.

After a few minutes working with CF Builder, the whole system slows down - most noticeably when switching between applications.

Activity Monitor shows that the WindowServer process is fluctuating wildly, often right up to 100% CPU.

Quitting CF Builder stops the process misbehaving, and computer performance returns to normal.

I've seen at least one other user with the same issue on Twitter, so I don't think it's just me!

Yeah, I'm having the exact same problems with CF Builder Beta 2.  At first I thought it was a problem with CFBuilder running out of heap memory, so I increased all of the memory values in CFBuilder.ini.  It seems that after I made that change, it takes longer for WindowServer to begin having a problem, but once it does it is far worse.  I am running a Mac Pro 2x2.66ghz quad core Xeon with 12gb of ddr3 memory.

By the way, have you submitted a bug report on this?

They've closed this bug. I am, however still having this issue with the official public release.

Had you tried this (yes, even with the public release):

Thank you! I tried that fix last month and it worked!

I'll share the news with my team.

Thanks again for the follow up.
