Bridge CS4 very busy doing nothing?

Recently noticed that while in the background, BridgeCS4 uses quite a bit of resources: Processor usage between 110-150% on a Dual G5.

At first I thought it might be building previews or something like that, but it looks like it's doing the same when pointed at an empty folder.

So, to get any work done in PSCS4, I now have to quit Bridge...

I tried resetting prefs, that didn't work.

Thoughts?

Bridge CS4 3.0.0.464

PSCS4 11.0.1

OSX 10.4.11

Mac 2x2GHz G5

5.5 Gb

HDD1: 113Gb used / 35 Gb free

HDD2 (scratch/cache): 107Gb used, 190Gb free

Rene-),

On my machine, Bridge in the background is using less than 1% of CPU resources (0.40% to be exact), 68.29 MB of Real Memory and 602.13 MB of Virtual Memory.?I haven't quit Bridge for several days now, so the cache is thoroughly built up.

My understanding from recent discussions with Adobe engineers is that the Central Cache is always on, even when you're set to distributed folders.?My speculation is that your central cache could still be being built, otherwise there's something weird going on.

Ah, that might be it. I did add a few Gb worth of tiff files to the disk a day back.. I'll try leaving it on for a while

Seems like that was indeed the case. After leaving bridge on for the night, it's back to normal CPU use
