Revisiting Brad's issue with sluggishness when using FinMac2006. I
had a client experiencing the same thing as Brad was describing. I
had my client look at his crash logs and he found continuous errors
with mdimportserver which has to do with spotlight indexing.
Don't know if this is what is causing Brad's issues or not, but I
thought it may be worth passing along.
There is a little $8 program that will delete Spotlight indexes so
they can be rebuilt (they can become corrupted if the machine crashes
in the middle of indexing for example) or turn Spotlight completely
off if deleting indexes doesn't help.

Disabling Spotlight will cause the the Finder "find" feature to be
disabled (command-F uses the spotlight indexes)...just a "heads up."
I use a program called Quicksilver (which I think Brad mentioned he
was already using as well) to find things and launch apps anyway. It
seems to run better than spotlight.

This is another great program to replace Spotlight....also free.

Along these same lines, the other thing I found that was causing
sluggishness was a problem with iDisk (showing up as a mirror agent
crash.) This happened to me when I had syncing set to
"automatically." I fixed it by turning iDisk syncing off in System
Preferences, restarting the machine and then turning iDisk Syncing
back on. I haven't had a problem with mirror agent since doing this
even though I continue to sync "automatically."
Anyway, additional thoughts FWIW. :-)
Best,
Karen
