I don't see any relationship between the two issues.
Hamish's issue explains why my NotLight app sometimes takes a long time to
populate the table showing the file paths (using kMDItemPath, which is the
troublesome key).
But the claim that a simple call to MDItemCreate will take 30 seconds all
other things being equal is demonstrably false. Something else would have to
be going on there. m.
