Rainbow Beach Ball OF Death!!!

Stupid frickin Beach Ball....(Shakes fist)

I get it too, but its usually only for about 5-15 seconds. Annoying though.
 
The Panther dev tools come with a program called "Spin Controll" to monitor the beach ball and why it's spinning. It also lets you disable it or set when it comes on.
