[QUOTE="thermidor, post: 124925, member: 9741"] I've half-answered my own question. I used Activity Monitor to be a bit more specific on what in Dashboard was doing the hogging. It turned out to be Dashboard for my other user (which doesn't have anything loaded apart from the standard widgets). I switched user and opened Dashboard, it then quietened down and is now running OK. (There's a good chance the other user hadn't opened Dashboard since logging in.) I'm still mystified as to why Dashboard should hog 35% of the CPU to do nothing at all, and why it should stop hogging the CPU when I showed & hid it, but hey, at least I know how to solve the problem now.
