Mac mini Server, mid 2010, Yosemite 10.10.5, 16GB RAM, 2.66Ghz core 2 duo
Slow performance observed. Swap used 1.16GB
apspd using 8.25GB ram and constantly running near 100% CPU
cfprefd constantly running near 55-100% CPU
What can I look for to see why these two processes are hogging resources?

I have force quit apspd, and trashed the Apple Push Notifications prefs files. This had a very good effect on performance. Reboot in progress to see if apspd returns.
apspd has returned but is running as one would expect a background process. very little ram and near zero cpu.
apspd using RAM, cfprefsd hogging CPU
