When I edit a web page in safari. with opened visual studio code a moment ago, and didn't close it.

The cpu just jump higher, so I close that web page and visual studio code, then the cpu jump down to normal. Not sure what case this.

I have notice that the mds is lower when the mds_stores are high.

PS: it's macOS 10.15.1

Edit:

I didn't think it's duplicate of another question mds-and-mds-stores-constantly-consuming-cpu, because in that question, the situation is

  • lower cpu consumer: mds:11.9%, mds_stores:9.6,
  • compare to mine: mds:1.3, mds_stores:701.8(kind of killing my cpu)
  • the cpu drop down to normal after I close the webpage & vscode.

  • I have check that question too, but it's about spotlight, in my case I was editing some text in a webpage within safari. I didn't use spotlight to search things, but also I didn't disable it. And his case only have 11%, mine is 700%. huge different. I was afraid my computer killed by this.. – JerryZhou Nov 29 '19 at 14:49
  • the other answer document what the process is about. Comments and other answers tell how people caught their culprits. To me, it looks like VSCode and you can try excluding your working directory from the index. – anki Nov 29 '19 at 17:45
  • sudo mdutil -a -i off you can run this command to disable the indexing of Spotlight. sudo mdutil -a -i on to put it back on. https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/144474/mds-and-mds-stores-constantly-consuming-cpu – Philippe Remy Oct 10 '21 at 11:13
