[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1571705, member: 71075"] Let's face the facts here - your kernel is using an excessive amount of CPU power right now. It should be using nowhere near what it's using here. Not that my machine is the perfect specimen but you're using nearly 32x as many CPU resources as I am for the kernel process and my machine is probably fairly "average" in terms of what I do with it. Unfortunately, determining what is affecting this isn't easy since a lot interfaces with the kernel (think of it as the brain of OS X). It's not like a simple app that can simple be closed. However, you can start to figure out what might be interfering with it if you start thinking about what might be messing with it. More often than not, it's something hardware related and by that, I mean some piece of hardware and its software interface are acting weird. Have you plugged any new hardware into your Mac as of late? [/QUOTE]
