Are you talking about iStat Menus?

The then-latest version of iStat Menus (1.3) was incompatible with Snow Leopard when SL was released. iStat Menus 2.0 was very soon released for SL compatibility. If you had the old version and had trouble with it after installing SL, you may want to download the new version and try it out.

Do you also have the iStat widget installed? That works fine in SL, and may be the source of the console messages.

i just installed it again, made a copy of the whole iStat local-folder, uninstalled and moved the copied folder to its location. i don't have the console-messages anymore. it's maybe not the best solution but it works.

I have the same problem. At first I feel nothing. But after I installed VMware Fusion I found system bootup time becomes super slow. I have a Intel X25-M G2 160G, the original bootup takes 3/4 spin but after Fusion it takes 8 spins. I guess fusion installs some lauchd process and it had to wait for the istatmenu process to finish then can continue.
Here is how I solved this problem:
Remove /Library/LaunchAgents/com.bjango.istatlocal.plist
Remove ~/Library/Preferences/com.bjango.istatlocal.plist
After deleting these two files my bootup speed returns to normal and there is no warning in system log.
