It just happened again. I had left the machine otherwise idle with an AFP share connected in Nautilus, showing on the screen. Attaching a process list - PID 13309 is the culprit - not sure what else is necessary. Syslog has nothing relevant, .xsessionerrors likewise.
** Attachment added: "processlist.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/951585/+attachment/3049889/+files/processlist.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/951585 Title: gvfsd-afp consumes 100% of processor cycles Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Happens on an irregular basis on 12.04 and I think I've experienced it on 11.10. For no reason gvfsd-afp starts up. Cooling fan kicks in, system becomes laggy. Easily cured using system monitor and killing the process. Someone on the Ubuntu Forum asked if I have a Mac on the network and the answer is yes, an iMac and there are shares on that machine I can access.
