After working in Finale for a few hours, I notice that the whole
system starts slowing down and the fans on my computer stay on. I
assumed this was due to Finale and a large GPO setup.
I discovered to my horror that Quickeys 3.1.1 was actually the
culprit. The Quickeys background application was using up 45 to 70%
of my CPU! Quitting Quickeys just gave me the spinning beach ball and
only logging out and back in cured the problem. Temporarily.
I thought I would throw this out to the list to see if there were any
solutions and to give a warning. I would hate to give up Quickeys,
because it is so much a part of the way I do Finale. But I also don't
like restarting all the time.
That's absolutely correct. Whenever Finale starts to feel sluggish,
going to the Activity Monitor reveals that the Quickeys Background
Application is using an absolutely huge amount of RAM and CPU time for
no reason.
The solution is to force quit the Quickeys Background process. You will
get a message saying that toolbars are now unavailable, but Quickeys
still works fine for me after that and everything will be back to normal.
