I have a 2.3mhz Core2Duo running the latest version of Leopard. I run Billings all day. Usually by the time I come back from lunch, Billings is chewing on 30% or more of one of my CPUs. I have seen it go as high as 70%.

I can bounce Billings and get a few hours of 'reasonable' usage (why it needs 5% CPU to run a timer is beyond me), but inevitably, my CPU fans start screaming again a few hours later and Billings is the culprit.

This is not the first time this problem has been reported:

And honestly, this is only the first in a long list of complaints I have about Billings, most of which I can see were also posted on this board months or years ago, and all of which have gone completely unaddressed (even on the forums, for the most part).

For my $60, I really expect better. Color me a very unsatisfied customer.

We've been trying to reproduce this situation but we haven't been able to - same with that first report.

If you notice the same situation again - please try to do the following:

- Launch Activity Monitor
- Select Billings and click on "Inspect" in the toolbar
- In the inspect window - click on "sample"
- Send that to us as text

Hopefully that will help us understand why this is happening for a few people.

Thanks.
