Works, but at what cost?

Feedback Type:  Review

Contributed by: RockMSockM9NY Wednesday, March 15 2006 @ 12:05 AM PST

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

I was thrilled to find this product, as I have dozens of old sound bytes in various formats from ages ago that my co-workers and I had fun with.

Upon installing, the extension worked as advertised, but within a minute or two, I noticed my Mac's CPU starting to audibly overwork itself.

Upon checking my Activity Monitor, SystemSound was using a whopping 65% of my CPU! That's unnacceptable.

That being said, I deactivated the preference pane, and I'm close to trashing this altogether. I really hope the developer is working on a fix, because this is a real gem.

Please fix!

Thanks!
