Maybe one of my readers has an idea: my Jaguar has been acting up for a few days. Specifically, the context menu is very slow - it takes about 10-20 seconds to open. While it's not opening, the computer reads lots of data from the disk. It somehow looks like something's mixed up somewhere, but I have no idea what it could be. Any tips? The normal menu isn't exactly fast either, but not as sluggish as the context menu. Once it's been open, it's fast as usual after that - it only seems to be searching for something the first time ...
I originally only noticed it in Safari, but then I realized it happens in other programs too. Apparently generally with the context menu.
Update: it was either Cumulus or Portfolio. Probably the latter - because Portfolio installs a whole bunch of additional components, like a context menu plugin for example. And when I threw it out of /Library/Contextual Menu Items/, the machine was back to its usual speed with context menus. What a piece of junk ...
