Problems with callservicesd and soagent

I am currently running the last Yosemite public beta version.

On both my desktop and laptop I frequently see on activity manager that the processes callservicesd and soagent are racing along using 100% of CPU each. Messages which I think is related to these processes often shows the same behavior.

I kill the processes but within half an hour they are back and racing along.

Is anyone else having this problem? Is this something which might be fixed by upgrading from the public beta to the release Yosemite?

Thanks.

Mac Pro (Early 2009), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

On my BacBook Air 2010, I had this problem of CPU and soagent going mad blowing the fans like crazy.

I tried so many things but it seems that using the method of clearing internal setting cured the loud trouble.

In my case I first deselect the Contacts using iCloud leaving an empty Contact list.

Then I use with the computer shut down but plugged to the main, I pressed all together Power+Option+Control+Shift (the latest three keys from the left of the keyboard). I released them all together, then reboot.

Now it fine. The BacBook Air is silent again !

I hope that it will last…
