CVMCompiler -- Mac OS X Core Virtual Machine Compiler



CVMCompiler is a transient system daemon that performs generic slave

tasks controlled by CVMServer.


There are no configuration options to CVMCompiler. Users should not run

CVMServer -- Mac OS X Core Virtual Machine Server


Launchd is the parent process, so it starts on reboot. Did you install Parallels ? I'm not sure their exact job but their footprint is pretty small. It seems OSX Lion is isolating different tasks to run in a virtual machine. I'd love to hear more from someone that knows exactly what it is and doing.
