I've noticed that Adobe Bridge 2023 has a constant CPU usage, reported by the Activity Monitor between 100-300% (sometimes even more). Most of the time it's at 180%.
That's in idle, so no images are being opened, selected, no folder is changed, all previews have been generated,...
Meanwhile Photoshop uses well below 2% in idle.
Does Bridge create an index in the background? If so - how can I turn that off?
If Bridge always uses CPU ressources that will cause unnecessary battery drain and will slow down other applications for no reason at all.
Again: this is in idle.

Thanks but that's an entirely differnt issue and the proposed solution does not work for that.
This is not about memory usage but CPU usage.

An intersting development:
Closing the folder panel stops the high CPU usage. After that CPU usage in idle is down to 1.4%!!!!
However that leaves me without a decent, fast navigation so it's not a solution at all.
I assume Bridge is trying to read/access other parts of the opened folder strucutre, almost like building an index. Totally useless and deifnitely not what the developers had in mind but that's what's happening here.

So today it started with high CPU usage again, I turned the folder panel on and off again - and it stopped.
Then I closed Bridge and opened it gain and I got high CPU usage again
This is pretty absurd.
I don't know what else to do with this application, it's really very annoying and unusable for mobile work.
EDIT: So something else that seems to help - and I have no idea why - is to scroll completely up and down in the Content panel of your opened folder...
This is very bizarre.
