okay, something's funky with my computer and it's not making me happy. the hard drive keeps spinning and spinning with no reason and i'm getting nervous about it. anyone else out there in mac land been having this problem lately? the only changes that i can think of are the software update ones, and methinks those should generally improve performance. right? *sigh*

Two thought -- first, are you using any peer-to-peer filesharing programs? Even if you aren't downloading anything, somebody else pulling one of your shared files can keep your hard drive busy. Second -- do you have many applications (especially Photoshop) open when this happens? It may just be using a lot of virtual memory.
