Just upgraded to ME14 and having a new wrinkle.

What is the contentsecurity.as.attendant.exe process and why is it's CPU load spiking every 60 seconds or so?

When this process spikes, it takes server utilization to 100% which is impacting client access.

Before you ask, this is a dual-proc 3Ghz server with 4GB ram.  Wasn't having utilization issues before the upgrade.

Thanks in advance.

Interesting... I upgraded 6 hours ago, and this process has gobbled 2 hours of CPU time, and read 1020GB of data (written 135MB)

It spikes every 15 or so seconds here, averaging around 20% CPU. It reads up to 190MB per second, averaging 20MB per second.

However... Closing the dashboard returns its usage to almost nil.

It looks like whilst the dashboard is open, contentsecurity.as.attendant.exe keeps accessing spam.mdb in the Reporter directory. And boy, does it access it!

I've just restarted the service, then opened the dashboard for 5 minutes, and it has performed "I/O Read Bytes" of 15GB.
