I'm using Xcode 3.2.3 on Mac OS X 10.6.4, on a MacBook Air with a
1.86GHz Core 2 Duo.
When I run and use Xcode, kernel_task draws excessive amounts of CPU,
often over 100% of a core.
This can happen in a variety of situations, even just typing into a
source code file. The kernel uses so much CPU that at times it's hard
not to out-type Xcode. This problem is easily reproducible-- just
open a random source file and hold down the "/" key. By the time I
get to the far side of the screen, kernel_task is at 120% of CPU and
Xcode can't keep up with keystrokes (i.e. the rate of new slashes is
noticeably slower).
This is hardly the fastest Mac around but it's always been adequate
for Xcode until recently. I'm not sure if it's the recent Xcode
release or the recent OS upgrade. Does anyone have any suggestions?
