Macbook Pro Kernel_task Problems Hello, I do not know how to continue. My Macbook (2019) is currently very slow (lag) and the kernel_task is quite high (sometimes up to 5000). It mostly happens when I start and stop playback in Davinci Resolve 18.5.1 Studio. Temperatures are completely in the green area. Have the Macbook also freshly blown out and cleaned which does not contribute to any improvement. I hope I can get more tips here. Regards R.Eleven

Help with slow iMac (EtreCheck Report included) Hi, looking for any direction on cleaning up my Mac so it runs a little better. I realize it’s never going to be lightening quick, but it definitely needs to be better than it currently is. Right now, trying to run more than one program at a time causes it to freeze or the app to fail and close. I have almost no additional apps loaded, except for Microsoft office, as it’s used for very basic stuff, but lately it’s been a nightmare just to open up a program. I ran the EtreCheck, included the report. I don’t know what I/O usage is, or what to do about the kernel extensions. Thanks in advance!
