So sorry, could you please be more specific? Are you saying that the periodic refreshing of zmd services might cause this? How can this be stopped?
Yes. Every time zmd "wakes up", it is likely to throttle your machine. Solution is to remove zmd and use something sane like fou4s, apt, or smart.
Also, I sorta had the notion that Beagle might cause it, so I have deactivated it where possible. Perhaps it is still running in some global sense I am not aware of?
Run `ps ax | grep beagle` Also, it has a cron job that runs. When I first installed 10.1, it spent an hour grinding my laptop's hard drive before I finally killed and uninstalled it. I recommend removing it entirely, just to make sure it's all gone.
