SymUIAgent.app is holding 55% of my CPU for the last two days. The process is not crashing as it's ID has remeinaed the same over the time I have been momitoring it. I am runing 10.5.8 on a 2.33Ghz MacBook Pro with 2GB of Ram.
I have tried to find a solution to this on these boards but cannot. So I attach a sample of SymUIAgent.app to analyse
Sampling process 160 for 3 seconds with 1 millisecond of run time between samples
Sampling completed, processing symbols...
Analysis of sampling SymUIAgent (pid 160) every 1 millisecond
