1. Both QuickContact and QuickDay are now in the Menu bar. Yesterday, only QC was there.

2. Dropdown menus appear immediately.

3. When I open the Find Contact window and search, the person appears very quickly.

Much improved.

Drop-down menu performance from QC is better for me with b3 but erratic. Sometimes it works quickly, and sometimes I get the several-second stall and spinning cursor as with b1. Lookups through QC are slow for me; on the order of 7-10 seconds between entry and the return of results. I don't know if this relates, but I get the following error messages in the Console log:

I'll try removing the GrabnGo plugin and see if that makes any difference.

I wrote that it was much improved.
But, now I am getting the SBOD action again.
Not all the time, but some of the time. It just took 12 secs to open the pulldown menu for QuickContact.

Are you getting anything similar to what Dave Sawyer reported seeing in his Console Log? Functionally, at least, the issues seem similar.

Not sure. I am not an expert with the Console.
I did see a number of these:

and yet I have not used Safari within the last few days.
I removed the SafariBlock item.
Restart.

QC worked correctly.
Launched CaptainFTP and this is in the Console Log:


and now I get the SBOD with QuickContact.

Following up on my previous post, I pulled the GrabNGo plugin but that has had no effect on the slowdown.
