I'm afraid I don't have much to suggest to you, as
this is a bit beyond me. I almost never do single
partitions, but rather clone whole HDDs, and as such I
have not run into a problem like this.
I can tell you that immediately after I've done a
whole HDD cloning (with DFSEE), if I run Jan's HDD
Compare function, the clone job has *always* FAILED
this test !! I have no idea why . . . but clearly
*something* must qualify as different, even if it
ultimately turns out to be something on the nano-spec
level. (You have a scientific background, so I'm
guessing you've heard of the famous connundrum of
Schroedinger's Cat. {Hope I got that name right.}
Isn't that the one where the mere fact of observation
could alter the experiment's outcome.)
Anyway, in my unschooled methods are strictly
empirical, as always. So I just go ahead and boot
each boot partition on the freshly cloned drive, and
run a random selection of app.s. That seems to tell me
what I need to know as to the soundness of the clone
job. I've given up on the Compare function as being
irrelevant.
As to your problem, I just don't know. I did have
something going on with eCS 1.0 where the default
Clock utility they installed was using up way too much
CPU. Uninstalled it, and most of that went away.
(They apparently switched to some other Clock program
with eCS 1.1) Seems to me you should try to run some
good process monitor type of program -- IF you are
able to -- and see what that reports as to what is
grabbing all the cycles. Peter has used most of them,
I think, and may have a recommendation.
