Bug: Horcrux uses up to 400% of CPU.
I have fully up-to-date system software and a very fast machine. Despite this, Horcrux is almost always running at 100-200% CPU and sometimes as much as 400%, making the machine unnecessarily hot. Apart from the obvious fact that it should not run above 100%, I would also prefer such a background process to run closer to 30%.
This has been fixed in version 2.0

I have Horcrux 2.4 and it still uses a lot of CPU. Whenever it activates, my Macbook Pro Retina (newest model) almost freezes...all my frontmost applications freeze for maybe 30 seconds at a time, then gets control for maybe 5 seconds, then freezes again for 30 seconds, etc. It gets better after a few minutes but Activity Monitor shows it using about 90-105% of CPU. It would be great if there was a way to get CPU usage even lower, since frontmost apps really shouldn't have to fight a backup program for CPU time.

To mark this as completed is misleading to the public. The version currently available on the App Store is 1.8, so if people come here to look at current bugs before purchase and see the status 'Completed' they will think they are going to get a version without the bug.
