[QUOTE="dmz33, post: 1262941, member: 207143"] 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. dmz33 Macbook Pro 2.66Ghz Intel i7 4 GB, 1067 Mhz DDR3 OSX - 10.6.8 [/QUOTE]
