Flock is abusing my harddisk

Hi everyone,

I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing this and has a solution, or maybe someone can tell me that this is a side effect of constantly updating to the latest Cardinal nightlies without doing a full uninstall (including profile, history, etc...)

Basically my harddisk is thrashing periodically while Flock is open. Using FileMon (from SysInternals) I see that flock.exe is the culprit. The activity comes & goes (I can only guess that it's either indexing or updating flickr or my feeds). Ultimately there are 2 files involved (these file names change over time):

WRITE to C:Documents and SettingsAdministratorApplication DataFlockBrowserProfiles7uh8h0lg.defaulthistorysearch_5tjj.cfs
READ from C:Documents and SettingsAdministratorApplication DataFlockBrowserProfiles7uh8h0lg.defaulthistorysearch_5tjj.prx

This read/write alternates for anywhere between 5 sec and 45 seconds rendering a my computer almost useless.
The file it is writing to is about 50MB.

I currently have about 50 feeds in MyNews

I am running Flock 0.7.6, build_id: 1159791218.7060 on WinXP SP2
My new machine even has a nice SATA hdd !

I have tried defragging & clearing the browser cache, but neither has helped.

Thanks for any input!

Hi,

I've opened a bug to track this, http://bugzilla.flock.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5477.  We'll have someone take a look.

Thx,
