Cleaned up entries on desktops but this was of no use.Ĥ) Ran fsck using disk utility, which came clean. I still went ahead and performed a major cleanup feeing up another 150GB. This is when I started to worry a little.ģ) One suggestion was hard disk space may be low, so I looked at my 500GB SDD usage, and saw 100GB free. So, disabled SMB file share, which resulted in no improvement. Here is the list of things I tried (while reading pages after pages on the internet):ġ) One suggestion was to adjust SMB browsing behavior, that did not help eitherĢ) Thought, let me disable SMB, things would come to normal. Google search for these symptoms resulted in mostly fix for high CPU usage. That is when the chase started to figure out this elusive problem. Next, I thought, a reboot would fix things as the machine has been running for a long time. But the activity monitor showed CPU mostly idle. My first instinct was maybe a javascript in of the open tabs on browser might have gone berserk. Autocomplete on terminal would take longer than usual. Out of nowhere, beachball would show up for a few second.

I was pleased and thought to keep this setup going forward as I need not keep two copies of such disposable files. I quickly set this up using File Sharing, shared my Download folder, and watched the video. As the files were large (over 4 GB), instead of scp, I decided why not set up a samba share and access the same from my MBP. Last week, I had a need to watch a video on my MBP. Occasionally, it also runs Virtualbox with a guest OS (Windows 10) consuming 4GB of RAM. And, at any given point in time, the web browser (FF and Chrome) have 50 tabs open on it, in addition to Eclipse SDK, an email client, around 20 terminal windows, and few office documents (Word, and Excel). The machine has been working like a champ all this time. And, each time I do this, I make sure to also update clover. Each time, I typically patch this machine a month after it is released by Apple. Building a CustoMac Hackintosh: Buyer's GuideĪlthough started as a curiosity and hobby, I have been using my desktop with High Sierra as a primary machine for over three years now.
