When I try and pbcopy and pbpaste on the command line they are running awfully slow. This ties into an emacs issue I'm having as well but since pbcopy/paste is the root of it I'm asking here....
Here is some example output:
~❯ time echo 'test' | pbcopy
echo 'test' 0.00s user 0.00s system 24% cpu 0.003 total
pbcopy 0.01s user 0.01s system 1% cpu 0.830 total
~❯ time echo 'test' | pbcopy
echo 'test' 0.00s user 0.00s system 38% cpu 0.002 total
pbcopy 0.01s user 0.01s system 1% cpu 0.847 total
~❯ time echo 'test' | pbcopy
echo 'test' 0.00s user 0.00s system 40% cpu 0.001 total
pbcopy 0.01s user 0.01s system 0% cpu 1.708 total
~❯ time pbpaste
test
pbpaste 0.01s user 0.01s system 1% cpu 0.860 total
~❯ time pbpaste
test
pbpaste 0.01s user 0.01s system 1% cpu 0.843 total
~❯ time pbpaste
test
pbpaste 0.01s user 0.01s system 1% cpu 0.853 total
If I watch Activity Monitor and set sampling to 1 second - I can see notifyd jump to 100% CPU usage everytime I run pbcopy.
If I kill notifyd pbcopy/paste works blazingly fast:
time echo 'test' | pbcopy
echo 'test' 0.00s user 0.00s system 38% cpu 0.002 total
pbcopy 0.01s user 0.01s system 80% cpu 0.015 total
El Capitan bug? Something else? Thanks in advance for any responses.
