Excessive CPU and Disk from Intercheck

IndigoHomme

I launch the backup program CrashPlan and Intercheck consumes almost 100% of one core on my dual core iMac for a period of about 2 minutes. At the end of 2 minutes the CrashPlan dialog appears. At the same time, read-ins/sec went through the roof.

Before installing SAV CrashPlan launched within 15 seconds.

    Hello Rob,

    it is no surprise that InterCheck is quite active during a backup as many files are accessed and therefore scanned. Sounds like CrashPlan is accessing "lots of" files when starting up. If you quit CrashPlan once the dialog appears (in case this is possible) and start it immediately afterwards - does it again take two minutes? Normally I'd expect it to be significantly less because the files shouldn't be re-scanned.

    CrashPlan seems quite complex so I can't tell what it does at this early stage - especially since I'm not using it. Maybe a kind soul who is also using it could tell you more.
