[QUOTE="Dubes14, post: 1306779, member: 217454"] I have a G5 2.3 Ghz, with 10.5 GB Ram, running OSX 10.5.8. I have noticed that following a restore from Time Machine that my mac is hanging a lot and running slow. I opened my activity monitor and at the beginning it was obvious that much CPU usage was directed to indexing. However, it has been days now and it still hangs on a number of programs despite the fact that activity monitor shows little CPU or memory usage. What can cause this? It also gets really bad while backing up the system with time machine. I kind of understand that to some degree but it hangs really bad. It has hung 4 times while trying to type this message. I have run disk utility and it shows the disk and permissions are fine. I have also checked all memory and it appears to be working fine as well. It just seems like my computer is not taking advantage of the CPU or memory. The worst problems have been with things like Safari, Quicktime, Photoshop, and while downloading with uTorrent. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
