- tjohns 4y agoI have not seen this behavior on any of my Macs, and what you're describing is not normal. I'm not saying that you're necessarily wrong, but there are many different things that could also cause this. Some investigation would be in order before making that claim. (Spotlight indexing via mdworker is the usual first culprit for this kind of behavior, in my experience.) You should be able to see what's causing the extra load by keeping an eye on Activity Monitor.
- yamtaddle 4y agoLast couple times I got tons of beachballs system-wide for no clear reason, it was because I was doing Android dev and had the emulator running, or, earlier, because I hadn't yet switched to Safari. Both FF and Chrome did that to me, though Chrome was slightly better about it.

So you've seen this behavior enough times that you have a fix for it, but you've never seen this behavior on any of your Macs? What is it?
- happyopossum 4y ago"this behavior" presumably being XProtect causing numerous beachballs/day... C'mon - let's be a little less snarky and a little more charitable.
- saagarjha 4y agoI’d take a spindump personally.
- windowsrookie 4y agoI have an M1 MacBook Air, and a 2018 MacBook Pro. Neither of them ever have beachballs. Something is either hogging resources on your system, or it's just an older machine.
