Resetting the SMC did not work.
Activity monitor still shows CPU at 2000% for the kernel_task.
I will test to see if the problem is the SSD, next.
I tried running First Aid on the SSD but the high CPU at around 2000% makes this very slow, and the system just hangs.
The restore process did not indicate the SSD was bad, and I've tried every Apple support suggestion.
Hmmmm. This is a mystery that needs to be solved.

I installed 10.5 (Leopard) on my G4 733 Mhz (after minor tampering with the install package, just switched a boolean FALSE to TRUE).
Everything works fine after startup, but once I sleep the computer and wake it back up, kernel_task starts using at as much CPU runtime as it can, as in past 90%.... (0 Replies)

Hi bros,
CPU speed of Sun Sparc Enterprise T5140 in data sheet is 1200 Mhz. Why it shows in "prtdiag -v" command each thread just has speed at 1165 Mhz.
Thank you,

get_cyclecount
GET_CYCLECOUNT(9) BSD Kernel Developer's Manual GET_CYCLECOUNT(9)
NAME
get_cyclecount -- get the CPU's fast counter register contents
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/systm.h>
#include <machine/cpu.h>
u_int64_t
get_cyclecount(void);
DESCRIPTION
The get_cyclecount() function uses a register available in most modern CPUs to return a value that is monotonically increasing inside each
CPU.
On SMP systems, there will be a number of separate monotonic sequences, one for each CPU running. The value in the SMP case is selected from
one of these sequences, dependent on which CPU was scheduled to service the request.
The speed and the maximum value of each counter is CPU-dependent. Some CPUs (such as the Intel 80486) do not have such a register, so
get_cyclecount() on these platforms returns the number of nanoseconds represented by the structure returned by nanotime(9).
The Pentium processors all use the TSC register.
The Alpha processors use the PCC register.
The IA64 processors use the AR.ITC register.
SEE ALSO
nanotime(9)
HISTORY
The get_cyclecount() function first appeared in FreeBSD 5.0.
