I see that people have posted about their feelings on Pages UI and the subscription update, but I don't see any mention of Pages (15.2.1) eating CPU cycles. My laptop was hot and sluggish after I'd left a Pages document open in the background, so I checked Activity Monitor, and Pages was eating 30-40% of CPU, while tccd is taking 50% and fileproviderd 40%. This sounds like a problem with iCloud sync: fileproviderd does file sync, and tccd handles permissions.
I closed Pages, and tccd and fileproviderd both dropped to nothing. I reopened pages, and things were fine for a while; I left it and came back after half an hour to see tccd at 50%, fileproviderd at 40% and pages at 30% CPU utilization. Is anyone else having similar issues with Pages? Would have been okay back in winter, but it's getting too warm to have my laptop acting as a portable heater.
