[QUOTE="BrianLachoreVPI, post: 1226756, member: 193366"] Here's an interesting read [url=http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10330458-263.html]Kernel_task process taking up an inordinate amount of CPU | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews[/url] At least I thought it was interesting - but there's so much I don't know under the hood of OS X. :) There are quite a few interesting reads on kernel_task - but you almost have to provide a complete listing of not just what you're actively using - but everything installed - for others to start guessing at what could be causing an increase in the size of this process - assuming that's abnormal.
