I've notice that at times my macbook pro can get a bit sluggish.
I take a quick look at the iStat Pro Widget, (Ver. 4.92) and I see that the CPU is running at 80%+.
Then opening and looking at "Apps/Utilities/Activity Monitor" under System Processes, (selecting away from "my processes" in the drop down) I see that "kernal_task" is running at 266 (% CPU) and seems to be the culprit.
Anyone have any idea what's going on?
And whether I can stop it, restrain it, or schedule it somehow?
Thanks in advance for any help.
