Ferpa Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I have just discovered what makes my system so slow... "kernel_task" After some reading, I discovered that it might be some KEXT that is eating resources. But, which KEXT! Well, I looked for the AppleTPMACPI, but I don't have it, then I've deleted AppleHWSensor, but it didn't help. Now I think I need some new directions... Can anyone point me some KEXT that might be maufunctioning? I'm using JaS 10.4.8 and an AMD cpu (Ath X2 4200) lol 110% means an entire core and 10% of the other! Like 55% of the system!!! plz help!
