Lightroom Tip - Fix High CPU Usage
Update (Nov 2007)
Lightroom 1.3 has fixed this problem. I run Lightroom on a Mac Pro under MacOSX 10.5.2 (Leopard). I have turned back on the Automatically Write to XMP option with no significant increase in cpu cycles.
Let me know if this tip helps you.

I recently had a problem where Lightroom was constantly consuming more than 80% of the CPU cycles for long periods of time. Disk drive activity was also very high.
The fix was to turn off the
Automatically Write to XMP option in the dialog
box under Catalog Settings.
This solved the high CPU usage
and disk thrashing.
