Finder has become a runaway for me.
When I log in, things start just fine. But by the end of a day or
two,
Finder.app wants almost as much CPU as my machine can spare --
typically 10-20 seconds of full, followed by 2-5 seconds of pause.
I have not seen this on the two PPC machines I maintain that run
Leopard (one G4, one G5).
You didn't mention that you tried any troubleshooting steps, but the
first things I would try in that situation are running some disk
maintenance (repair permissions, repair disk/Diskwarrior) and then
reinstalling the Combo updater for 10.5.8.

Ok, I need help deciphering this output.
The command I used was:
$ sudo /usr/libexec/repair_packages --standard-pkgs --repair
Looking at the output ('pbpaste' contains the entire output):
$ pbpaste | grep 'Missing file' | wc -l
161468
160 thousand missing files? That can't be right, can it?
Well, looking at the list of files shows printers that I have never
had on my machine.
It shows things like
...
Missing file "usr/share/man/man1/break.1".
Missing file "usr/share/man/man1/breaksw.1".
Missing file "usr/share/man/man1/builtin.1".
Missing file "usr/share/man/man1/builtins.1".
Missing file "usr/share/man/man1/case.1".
Missing file "usr/share/man/man1/cd.1".
Missing file "usr/share/man/man1/chdir.1".
Missing file "usr/share/man/man1/command.1".
Missing file "usr/share/man/man1/complete.1".
...
yet I have the .gz source files.
It shows things that I'm pretty certain were uninstalled; which
reminds me, what are you supposed to do when something is uninstalled?
Isn't it just trash it?
It shows stuff that I thought were either x86 only, or mac server only.
But then there are stuff that looks serious:
Missing file "Applications/Utilities/Bluetooth File
Exchange.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/MainMenu.nib/classes.nib".
Missing file "Applications/Utilities/Bluetooth File
Exchange.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/MainMenu.nib/info.nib".
$ ls /Applications/Utilities/Bluetooth\ File\ Exchange.app/Contents/
Resources/English.lproj/MainMenu.nib/
total 124
104 designable.nib 20 keyedobjects.nib
So, what is the proper thing to do for this?
Should I re-install everything from DVD on top of 10.5.8 (a
downgrade), followed by the combo updater?
Is there a better way to tell what should be on the system now,
instead of what might have been installed if everything was installed
from the DVD?
$ pbpaste | grep 'Missing file' | grep -v 'Library/Printers' | wc -l
3157
$ pbpaste | grep 'Missing file' | fgrep -v 'Library/Printers' | fgrep -
v 'usr/share/man' | wc -l
2743
That's a lot more reasonable number, but still ...
