I've been using Sync Services to sync my Entourage 2008 calendar
up with iCal. It's been working pretty well as of late.
However, I've noticed one distinct drawback.
When I enable "Synchronize events and tasks with iCal and
MobileMe" in the Sync Services option of Entourage Preferences,
within a minute or so the CPU performance totally peaks out,
and my MacBook's fan starts to blow like a hair dryer (seriously).
Conversely, when I uncheck the sync option, the CPU performance
almost immediately drops to normal, and the fan stops whirring.
I'm using iStat to monitor the CPU performance while I do all
this, and I tried a few things before I isolated Sync Services
as the problem. I'm on Snow Leopard 10.6.2., 4 GB RAM with a
2.2 GHz Core Duo.
Sync Services has been working all right for me (as long as
I just select a single sync option in Entourage), but this
fan noise issue has really bothered me, in particular when I'm
using the MacBook at night.
Has anyone else here noticed this issue?
Any possible workarounds or solutions, besides just turning
off Sync Services and refraining from syncing calendar items
in Entourage?
