I'll second the heat check. If your mini is like mine it doesn't take much to push it up into the area of cpu throttling. This is a 2011 model and currently I have it on a laptop cooler with the bottom of the case nudged open. Made a huge difference. Also installed fanspeed and adjusted parameters so that the fan ramps up earlier and harder.
Also, you mentioned using activity monitor to check cpu usage, have you checked ram usage? Large amounts of swapping can cause beach ball behavior. Look to see how may page ins have occurred as well as which processes are eating the most mem. THough if no page-ins have occurred, swapping isn't the problem. (page outs don't matter, that just indicates things being shoved into memory) Finally, yep, could be a drive flaking out. Which would be even more obvious when combined with page-ins. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
