However the very strange thing is that I don't use Spotlight at all. I use Core Data in a document-based application that's not saving files when this is happening.

That's strange ... inconceivable. Core Data doesn't do anything special with or for Spotlight.


Changing notes involves changing a selection on an array controller which triggers an observer that then changes out the note view and loads an NSData from the store to fuel that view. Nothing terribly complicated, really, and certainly nothing that uses Spotlight.

Does anyone have a clue as to where mds could be getting into the mix? I'm not even sure how to start to debug this one. I've already done the "sysadmin" thing and destroyed the Spotlight database and rebuilt it as well as tried several machines. It appears to be a code issue.

Have you checked the console log ? I've found if an app logs constantly (sometimes from throwing exceptions) that it can really degrade the system performance.


What other I/O operations is your app doing besides reading an NSData ? Are you creating or deleting a lot of files ?

You could also try stepping along through gdb and seeing what area of code appears to trigger spotlight. Without symbols, frustrating, but you might be able to gleam something.
