shooting tethered with a D3 and it captures fast showing in about 3-4 seconds.After shooting for a short while the incoming captures slow at rate 6-9 seconds.The speed bar hesitates.Restart C Pro still slow.
Reboot the computer and capture speed returns.This slowdown showed after about 30-40 captures. and after restart it happens again.
Mac Book Pro 2.2
4 gigs ram
OS 10.5.6
C1Pro 4.6
Thanks!

  Martin I'm having the same exact issue while using a mid 2008 Mac Pro 3.0 (Intel) with 8gigs of ram.

  Yes that is exactly our issue.We can speed up captures but you must restart the computer as a software restart does not clear the buildup and shooting is still slow.
  It will be interesting to see what you findings are with 10.5.5

  Martin I have a created a support case and have been asked to watch system resources and give them some feedback on that. I have a shoot this evening that I'm going to watch closely. Will advise any feedback I get from Phase One after I send them the info.
  
  I read the post above and I'm not having issues as the canon people were having. I don't have any of the Nikon software loaded on my new mac pro for tethered capabilities so it's capture one pro only.

  Martin after watching my activity monitor this weekend while shooting tethered I found out the issue isn't capture one pro. The problem is the Image Capture Extension being launched by OS X.. It is leaking and running up memory like crazy...

  Phase One is aware of the issue and is working with Apple to fix the problem. Hopefully 10.5.7 will fix this. Very annoying...

  Lance,
  I agree -- went back to 10.5.5 and there is no buildup but shooting is to slow when working with models --hopefully the next os ver will fix this

  Martin,
  
  Thanks for the headsup on 10.5.5 and I agree with you too slow to use. Lets hope 10.5.7
  gets it correct.
