ObjectDock i/o every second

from Stardock Forums
Using process explorer from sysinternals, I found that ObjectDock is doing some kind of i/o activity about every second. It is continuous and does not stop until OD is unloaded. The graph looks like a heart monitor.

I am using an open file agent for backups on my workstation and it needs a minimum of 2 seconds of no activity in order to function correctly. It's having a hard time getting a snapshot of the drive when OD is running. Troubleshooting the backup is how I found OD doing this.

Does anyone know what OD is doing or better yet, how to stop it or at least slow it down?

Thanks!

Are you using any docklets? If you are try removing them one at a time to see if they're causing your issue.

Yes, docklets especially those that update in 'reatime' (certainly many of the SysStats ones anyway) are set to update on a time interval.

Usually delving into the config of the (SysStats) docklet you can find the interval and change it if it's worrying you that much.

Thanks, good info.

Didn't think about the docklets. Chris, I'm not worried about it. I run backups nightly on all of my servers and workstations at home and the activity on this box was compromising that. It isn't worry, just something I needed to fix ;o)

Thanks again!
