Have you started to notice these error messages in your console log?
- mdworker[299]: Unable to talk to lsboxd
- sandboxd[296] ([299]): mdworker(299) deny mach-lookup com.apple.ls.boxd
- kernel[0]: Sandbox: sandboxd(314) deny mach-lookup com.apple.coresymbolicationd
Then your not alone…
In most cases, this appears to have started with Mountain Lion 10.8.2….
Some symptoms that have been reported are:
- Spotlight randomly starting to reindex drives
- High CPU activity spikes
- Sleep issues, with computers not always waking from sleep…
At this point, performing a Safe Boot (booting in Safe Mode), seems to help eliminate or at least reduce the number of times this occurs. Â One user reported that they went from thousands of console entries to 2 per day…. Â Your mileage will vary though…
