There's mention of this problem here, with a script solution.
http://www.entourage.mvps.org/glossary/daemon.html
He's off with the macbook so I can't try the script.
If you do use Entourage

you can turn it on and off

Rosemary,
I've noticed exactly this same issue on my MacBookPro.
No issues with cpu or memory. It just slows down, lots of beach
balls. And only using browser based email.
It seems to me it came about with one of the sw updates. Several
weeks ago at least.

Well, if he has an email account in an email program eg entourage he
probably has a database - don't know if that is relevant though.

Very strange problem on my Intel husband's macbook. About a week
ago
his macbook slowed to a crawl.
I repaired permissions, verified his disk
I've had a look at the activity monitor and the only thing that
seems weird is database daemon that is running. I stopped this
and it
seemed better, but reappeared when he re-booted . It seems
connected
to a database utility in Office, which I set not to run in the
background. He has no databases of any kind.
Has anybody any other solutions/suggestions?
