Samesies. Happened a couple of times. Just now I was watching the CPU and shutting down apps one at a time, give things time to settle after each app closing, and killing Chrome Beta removed logd and it's CPU cycles.


I opened Chrome again and boom, logd was back and taking up 100% CPU. I only had about 6 tabs open, so I opened up task manager in Chrome and my google sheets were the culprit. I had three of them open. I closed them and logd dropped off again.


So in this instance, I narrowed it down to Google Sheets in Chrome Beta causing the logd issue. Running 10.12.1 on a 12" Macbook early 2016, 1.3Ghz Core m7.
