Front row does not quit when I exit it and leaves a process which hogs most of my CPU. I have to kill it in through activity monitor. Anybody notices that?

Mine doesn't quit either, but it also does not seem to hog any CPU while it isn't being used. Activity Monitor shows it running at 0.0% CPU. Are you guys both running the latest version of Front Row (1.2.2)? Try that if you aren't.

Any ramblings are entirely my own, and do not represent those of my employers, coworkers, friends, or species

I don't think Front Row is supposed to quit -- it has to be running in order to intercept presses on the Apple Remote. Of course, it shouldn't be using so much CPU time (in my case it's 0.0%).

A few things. Killing the Front Row process does not disable the remote access. It will reload if triggered by the remote. It does not seem to use CPU like this all the time. I am trying to figure out if there is any trend but it seems pretty random.
