[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1566887, member: 71075"] Those are terrible instructions - please don't follow them. Anytime something recommends deleting content in /System, ignore it. Does kernel_task always use 100% CPU? Just a note - if you're using an i7, I imagine that you've got a quad core machine which means that, since you have four processing cores, you have 400% processing capacity (each core gets represented as 100%). So, if something is using 100% of your CPU in Activity Monitor, it's only using about 1/4 of your processors capacity. [/QUOTE]
