(com.apple.dyld) Throttling respawn: Will start in n seconds

By Cliff | Published: October 30, 2007

I don’t know exactly what causes this (I’ve only had a Mac a week!), but upon installing Leopard today and installing a couple of updates, the system felt a little sluggish and so I took a look at my Console, and it was brimming with messages like this:

10/28/07 1:06:33 AM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.dyld)
    Throttling respawn: Will start in 59 seconds
10/28/07 1:07:33 AM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.dyld)
    Throttling respawn: Will start in 59 seconds
10/28/07 1:08:34 AM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.dyld)
    Throttling respawn: Will start in 59 seconds
10/28/07 1:09:35 AM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.dyld)
    Throttling respawn: Will start in 59 seconds
10/28/07 1:10:39 AM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.dyld)
    Throttling respawn: Will start in 56 seconds

The fix for this is pretty simple, which I found here. But in brief, all you have to do is type this in a Terminal:

sudo update_prebinding -force -root /

Then reboot, and that should fix it :-)
