Disabling spindump on OSX

Seriously: spindump is pretty annoying. A ROYAL P.I.T.A. and I don’t mean the animal dudes.
I don’t care what it does. If it makes my (USB) mouse all jerky; if it slows my computer down to a halt; if it makes me want to throw my laptop across the room… then it’s not worth it.

Here’s how you can disable spindump altogether, with no consequences to your system’s stability:

sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.spindump.plist

You’re welcome.
