I'm using MDItemCreate to fetch the metadata for a bunch of files,
and
my calls to it are uniformly taking about 30 seconds to execute (as
measured by logging as well as stepping over in the debugger)
and, by
the way, return nil as the result.
Sounds like you're calling it wrong. m.
I fear the problem runs deeper than that:

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).
No, read the thread again. Once the server has fallen over, any
attribute request -- not just kMDItemPath -- will take one second.
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.
The point is that all other things are not equal. Making lots of
requests for attributes can put the server in a state where all other
things are not equal.
Best wishes,
Hamish
