Beachballing
by Dylan Reeve (Sycophant) on May 7, 2008 at 8:14:04 pm

There's something a little curious and almost certainly a bit wrong with our Mac Pro 8-core 3GHz.

While doing fairly normal things the cursor will suddenly 'beachball' for upwards of 30 seconds before responding to whatever it was I was trying to do.

Some examples of when this happens quite often...
- Selecting items in Sequence and choosing to Nest them.
- Saving a project in Color, beachballs for 30-seconds or so before Color save progress bar even comes up.
- Moving to another location in the timeline (sometimes).

It's not just FCP and Color (although that's where I notice it most). While playing out a sequence for client viewing in Avid earlier in the week the system would beachball for a minute or so every 10-15 minutes - completely stopping playback.

The system isn't locking up entirely, just one application (the entire time I've been writing this post FCP has been displaying stalled trying to nest three clips).

What's going on?

I don't really know enough about Macs to know where to look.
