wangii Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Spotlight and Dashboard are cpu and memory eaters. If you got a low score in XBench, turn them off maybe a good choice. To turn spotlight off: (Use root ) Modify file: /etc/hostconfig Change the last line from SPOTLIGHT=-YES- to SPOTLIGHT=-NO- Optional:remove the meta file from your harddisk: mdutil -E / mdutil -i off / To turn off Dashboard: defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES killall Dock Reboot. I feel a little bit better after turn them off. Do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proteo Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 For disabling Dashboard a less radical and fancier solution can be found here: DashOnOf 1.1 The last version is Intel-compatible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoZy Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 You all done it the hard way, Get "Tiger Cache Cleaner" From VersionTracker. In the special tab thats up the top you can disable/enable dock/finder/spotlight/dashboard and a lot of other cool functions Regards HoZy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
