A follow up to prior post on this issue:

Turns out the "distccsched" process was running in a tight loop, eating up processor and running up the temperature. I'm not doing any distributed building at the time when this occurs.

I've nailed it: It happens when:
1) After you have done a distributed build. This leaves distccschedd running, even if you quit Xcode.
2) Your network configuration changes so that the IP address of the interface(s) distccschedd saw on start up are now different, then distccschedd goes into 100% CPU mode.


So, for example, waking your computer from sleep, and it gets a different IP address via DHCP -- this will cause the problem.

Turns out the fix is easy: Just quit the process. No need to restart it - seems Xcode will do this next time it starts a distributedd build. I use Activity Monitor (which I always have running anyway for the Dock CPU meter) and I leave the Activity Monitor window set to "Active Processes". When the problem occurs, distccschedd is there and Quit works like a charm. (I suppose "killall distccschedd" in the shell would work too... )

Should I file a bug on this, or do you Apple folks have it covered?
