I noticed that Console was streaming so much output it was using max CPU which is not normal. Looked closer and saw adobe flash mentioned and the incompatible path. So went there, deleted all the Flash stuff and rebooted and the problem is fixed: intents_helper no longer hogs the CPU and Console is back to streaming the normal amount of output.

Some findings from Console, these 2 lines and being output every half a millisecond:
NotifyToken::RegisterDispatch(user.uid.504.com.apple.LaunchServices.database) fired for session key <private>
_LSBundleCopyOrCheckNode: cached node not found, registering new node <FSNode 0x11f5cb1f0> { isDir = ?, path = <private> }
Wish I could see what bundle this is so could try deleting it!
