Ya we would need that sample to see what's going on. :)

I’ve recently upgraded to Growl 2.0 and was pleased to see an item in the change log saying “resolves the high CPU issue”.

Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the case. I’ve just hit the bug again. Here’s my details:

 - Growl 2.0
 - OS X 10.7.5
 - 13" late 2011 MBP
 - The following Growl-enabled applications were running at the time when the bug occurred:
   * Adium
   * Dropbox
   * Mail (GrowlMail)
   * iTerm2
   * Quicksilver
   * Skype
   * Spotify
   * Twitter

Unfortunately it didn’t occur to me to sample the process before killing it (I can do that next time, if it helps diagnosing the problem). However, I’ve found the following Growl-related message in the Console:

> 31/10/2012 07:40:19.878 Adium: <GrowlGNTPNotificationAttempt: 0x10ac4d420> failed because Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=61 "Connection refused" UserInfo=0x10fb0dd80 {NSLocalizedDescription=Connection refused, NSLocalizedFailureReason=Error in connect() function}

(I’ve got the same error twice, two minutes apart)

… however, I’m not sure whether this was just prior to Growl’s screwup or just after I killed it.

I have to say I ran into this problem a lot, and it was driving me crazy! Growl 2.0 DID fix it for me though. Just for your information, because I was heavily affected.

For what it’s worth I’ve been observing the CPU consumption for several months since the upgrade now and I haven’t been able to reproduce a case where Growl went haywire so I’m assuming that the initial issue must have been caused by something else.

Cheers,
Konrad

If it comes back, get a sample immediately and anything else you can think of that might help.
