SE cpu usage high

[joecar]

SE 29.01 hotfix 5

I noticed my laptop's fan running at full speed for an extended time.

I looked at Windows Task Manager, I saw SE using about 20% cpu.
Only one instance of SE was open, just sitting, not editing (not even in focus);
SE process indicator said (when I right-clicked on it): "There are no active background processes".

I disabled background tagging and immediately cpu usage went down to 1%.

This is new behaviour, previously unseen.

 Try to rebuild your workspace tag file like this:

* Project>Retag Workspace...
* Uncheck Retag files in background when possible

If this never finishes, that means that the parser is hanging trying to parse a file. This would cause processing to go to the moon.

Clark, Thanks.

Retagging said: "74 files could not be found" (I had recently switched to a different branch in the git tree)...

so, I removed all files from workspace and re-added the ones that do exist, and retagged (in foreground).

CPU is still at 20%.

I restarted SE and it looks like it now has quietened down (1%).

Thanks.
