How To Fix An Empty Trash Hang With High CPU Locum On MacOSX

If you go to empty the Trash on MacOSX and it hangs, check to see if Locum is running and using most of your CPU cycles. If so, you may have the “Empty Trash Securely” option set in Finder Preferences -> Advanced. Uncheck the box and try again…
Not sure of the root cause yet, have not had the time to find out.
