One for Mac owners: ditching the Google desktop app

September 23, 2007 by Neil Maclean 

Like many Mac users, I’ve been pretty pleased Google’s desktop app. There are plenty of times when it has played Spotlight right off the park. However, recently I have noticed a deterioration in my Macbook’s performance accompanied by increasingly frequent visits from the spinning beach ball of death.
You know what’s coming don’t you?
Tonight I un-installed Google Desktop search and almost immediately my Macbook felt as if someone had untied its feet. It’s been flying ever since.
Your mileage might vary. All I am saying is - if you are experiencing Mac slow-down problems and you have Google desktop app installed, you might want to take a close look at that sucker.
