Hi Gene,

it goes randomly - sometimes it takes up to 3 minutes, sometimes shorter - if 
you do nothing on your macbook than the fan goes up - its heating up quite a 
bit - I did some testing today

installed 2.3.2_beta1 - where the CPU does not go crazy at all

www.lp-muc.com/kcminit_beta1.crash
www.lp-muc.com/ksplash_beta1.crash

installed 2.3.2_rc4 - where the CPU does go crazy
www.lp-muc.com/console_msg_rc4.txt
www.lp-muc.com/kcminit_rc4.crash
www.lp-muc.com/ksplash_rc4.crash


in both cases the pastboard is disabled and no klipper is running, in both 
cases I got two crash reports kcminit.crash and ksplash.crash, do those have 
anything to do with it?

ciao
