Re: Kernal_task taking up 70% of CPU usage?

Couple things that look out of place in the system.log I see:
Hundreds of the following (which could be the culprit here) almost each second until the program dies:
/Applications/Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard/Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard.app/Contents/MacOS/Acrobat: Invalid color: colored pattern specified with uncolored pattern colorspace.

following this the airport wend down, and we start seeing:
launchd: Server 0 in bootstrap 1103 uid 0: "/usr/sbin/lookupd" [257]: exited abnormally: Hangup
launchd: Server 3e27 in bootstrap 1103 uid 0: "/usr/sbin/lookupd" [428]: exited abnormally: Hangup

mDNSResponder: mDNSPlatformSendUDP sendto failed to send packet on InterfaceID 018811800 en1/6 to FF02:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:00FB:5353 skt 21 error -1 errno 49 (Can't assign requested address) 3993371472

restarting and not opening acrobat produced two notices:
SecKeychainFindGenericPassword err=-25308 ( =0xffff9d24,secErrStr=Usr interaction is not allowed. ) (current=BHCA)
launchd: Server 0 in bootstrap 1103 uid 0: "/usr/sbin/lookupd"[56]: exited abnormally: Hangup
launchd: Server 4207 in bootstrap 1103 uid 0: "/usr/sbin/lookupd"[111]: exited abnormally: Hangup

relaunching acrobat shows similar errors, but not a large amount of CPU usage again.

I have tried safe mode yet -- I have tried other users with similar issues, excluding the root user. Should I be looking in another log?

We purchased a brand new 17" powerbook, and it has been running horridly slow lately -- I check the activity, and the kernal_task is running 70% of the CPU usage... the whole time! Any recommendations to further investigate and combat such a terror?

What do logs say ? What happens in safe mode ? With another user ? Even at login window (Activate ssh and connect from another machine) ?
