Now appstoreagent is taking up 95% CPU! What! The! Fuck! Why is this a daemon at all? Apps, user or system, should not be updating silently in the background, and if the App Store is not explicitly open, there is nothing I need from it. The problem isn't just that this daemon is blasting one of my cores; the problem is Apple's perverse design philosophy which allows such a daemon to exist in the first place.
Well, first step I'd recommend not looking. There is someone in the world whose job it is to look at this. You're doing their job for free! [0]
As for turning things off, it's a bad idea to sell a product you haven't tested, and it's also a bad idea to add settings that randomly break stuff because users will forget they changed those settings. So it's difficult.
