| my personal experiences with beach-balled finder
I found out which files the Finder had loaded before its trip to the beach — turns out it was loading DivX codecs from /Library/QuickTime and also some other stuff from /Application\ Support/DivXNetworks/
I moved these files out of these locations using terminal (probably will have to sudo) and also moved Flip4Mac codecs for good measure. It is unclear to me why the finder was even loading this stuff, but it occurred to me that maybe quickview or coverflow would be interested in loading the different codecs...
perhaps this will help someone else out there...
