Q: QTKitServer-(326) QuickLook Satellite-general
I am not really sure what's causing this but every time I start my MacBook Pro I get at least 2 processes with this name that keep my processor at at 100% and more. It only happens on my MacBook Pro and I noticed this after I updated to Mountain Lion the other day. There is no trace of these on my iMac though also updated to Mountain Lion.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion, 2.2 GHz, Core i7 15"

Hi! I had the same problem, check this:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/10160531?messageID=10160531#10160531?messa geID=10160531
It seems that QuicktimeX is trying to prepare the preview of some incomplete or corrupt video files. When I browse with Finder a folder containing incomplete avi files, my cpu is at 120% (btw, with Perian installed, my cpu is only at 40-50% when is trying to handle those avi previews, but is still high)
In my case, the solution is: do not leave open folders containing incomplete avi.
But there's something I don't understand, why this never happened before to me? Only with Mountain Lion.
English is not my native language but I hope this helps you.
