Mountain Lion: Slower Shutdown with Cookie
-
I've been trying to diagnose a slower shutdown that I've been experiencing under Mtn. Lion. With two different 2011 MacBook Airs, my shutdowns went from a consistent 2-3 seconds to 13 to 20 seconds. I installed Cookie soon after upgrading to Mtn. Lion, so I can't comment on its behavior under Lion.
I finally deleted all of my user Login Items and my shutdowns returned to the 2-3 second range. I then added back one login item and tested. I kept repeating. What I found was that having Cookie open at login or manually launching Cookie resulted in a slower shutdown. And, even if I manually quit Cookie before the shutdown, I would still have the slower shutdown. It's possible that having a normal rotating hard drive with the longer normal shutdown wouldn't produce this kind of difference. But on my system, it's a five-fold increase in my shutdown time.
I've attached my system log below. That was from a shutdown where Cookie had been opened at login but I had quit Cookie before doing the shutdown. Also, there are no other open apps when I did the shutdown.
Note that the log indicates no elapsed seconds during the shutdown (normal on a MacBook Air) but the actual time of the shutdown was 16 seconds (I timed it).
I've done a total of 10 shutdowns--five with Cookie open or open and quit and five with Cookie never launched. The results are completely consistent with launching Cookie during a session resulting in a much slower shutdown for me.

Ill look into this, thanks for letting me know.
I have a build waiting for review with Apple now, so I'll look at getting a fix for this in the next release.Cheers
