kernel_task high memory usage

Thank you Franco428 for your suggestion, but not help me because all funs works right!

I suppose was a third part software update / malware... it seems solved since last few days. How?

1. EtreCheck find a Malware

2. Some users here suggest me AdwareMedic for a quit clean... reboot

3. IceClean: Cleanup-> Deep System Cleanup -> Remove all files and after Maintenance -> All Tasks and reboot

Kernel_task use less RAM and loading wheel appears less often. That's it...

Can you tell what the temp of you CPU and hard drive are?

Yes, a simple reboot will TEMORARILY solve the problem but it will happen again. I'm having this problem and it seems to have to do with Firefox and/or one of the plugins or extensions. If I keep my computer on overnight when I come back to it in the morning many of the apps have been paused because they ran out of memory. My kernal_task is up to 9GB (I have 16GB total). If I force quit Firefox then the kernal_task goes back to a normal 1GB or so.

So, now I'm trying to figure out why, all of a sudden this is happening. I am on Mavericks 10.9.5. Now I did add an external drive, daisy-chained with Firewire 800 recently.

If I quite Firefox at night, I have no problems in the morning.

My kernal_task is up to 9GB (I have 16GB total).

If your kernel_task is using 9GB, then you have a 3rd party kernel extension that is consuming RAM.

For a 16GB Mac, the kernel_task should use on the order of 800MB to 1GB more or less. 9GB indicates you have 3rd party kernel extensions.

You can use EtreCheck to see what 3rd party additions you have installed. Look closely at the kernel extensions.

Bobharris is right! EtreCheck and some unusefull app/plugin uninstall help me to solve... hope you too!

Okay, I ran EtraCheck and here is the report. The problems are in red. And, I'd like to know what these mean. For example, why is my TimeMachine in red? My internal HD is 1TB and my TimeMachine is 1TB. But, I'd like to know what the others mean as well and what to do next. Thx.

outtacontext I'm going to suggest you actually start a "New" Post, as this post is rather long, and already marked answered. That will reduce the number of people looking at your issues.

One of these drivers is most likely responsible. kernel extensions can be dynamically loaded, so you should really look when kernel_task is using excessive memory.

You do not need a Mac cleaner. They tend to consume system resources and often fight the operating system.

The fact that you have 16GB and 12.22 GB Page-ins in ONLY half a day, means something is throwing away process memory, forcing Mac OS X to page process code back into memory over and over. Does CleanMyMac claim it will give you more free memory? If so it is wearing out your disk and defeating Mac OS X file system caching.

The long term forum contributes have seen Mac cleaners, memory cleaners, anti-malware products cause performance problems, and kernel panics. We do not like them.

Bob, I have moved my discussion to a new thread located here: kernel_task using too much RAM

Could you move your answer to that thread as well and then I have a few questions. Thanks very much.

I disabled the screensaver (System Preferences -> Desktop & Screen saver -> "Start After" menu -> Select "Never") and had no kernel_task high memory or high CPU usage ever since.

Might not work for everyone but it appears to work for me with my MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011 / Yosemite 10.10.3).

My solution:

open terminal.

type:

sudo su

put the password

and then, type:

crontab -e

press "i" to insert and type at bottom of file:

* 3 * * * purge

press "esc" and "wq"

restart our mac.

What it does? After 3 hours, the purge command is executed to clean memory used by system. my kernel_task reduced from 4.75GB to 800MB

Actually, you're running it once every minute, from 3:00 to 3:59... Pretty sure you want a value in the first column.

Quoting crontab(5):

The time and date fields are:

field allowed values

----- --------------

minute 0-59

hour 0-23

day of month 1-31

month 1-12 (or names, see below)

day of week 0-7 (0 or 7 is Sun, or use names)

A field may be an asterisk (*), which always stands for ``first-last''.

Thank you!

After many months of struggling with the kernel_task growing in memory, leading to severe swapping and slowdowns, it seems like this finally did the trick!

I unchecked some of my log file heavy directories from Spotlight indexing, and suddenly it's holding stable. Very excited - I feel like I got my computer back!

By "this" you mean what? The discussion is too long to find the working solution.

I'm on OS X 10.11.4 beta I removed all .kext from 2012 and older (Mostly HP printer stuff and an old Audio HiJack) Now Kernal_task is running around 500MB from close to 2GB! Thank you HP 😉

Hey,

I also have issues with the kernel_task. Its using something between 200 and 800% of my cpu and my trackpad doesnt work ( I didnt spill water or anything over my MBP, at first the trackpad did work and only the kernel task used all my cpu performance, then a few days later the trackpad didnt work too.)

So, the problem appeared a few months ago and i could "solve" it by deleting all files in the Resources folder (System -Library – Extensions – IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext -Contents – Plugins – ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext – Contents – Resources). Then i just had to use fancontrol to lower the rpm of my cpu fan (they spun like crazy and my macbook didnt even get hot or anything) and I could somehow use my macbook again.

A few days ago I updated my device to the latest version of el capitan and the nonsense began again. I tried to solve the problem as last time, doesnt work. I dont know what causes the issue, but a lot of people have problems with HDD or printer or something. I dont find files like that in my kext files.

I also checked my mbp using "etrecheck":

The interesing thing is, that the test says, cpu usage is no problem at all, but the activity monitor says it is 800%. And as I said before, my mbp never gets hot.

Anyone any ideas what else I could try?

Thank you very much,

Theresa
