FWI, and I'm not saying this is the problem...

Three days ago our senior editor's Mac (OSX) came to a grinding,  
nearly unusable condition, in all apps, slow keyboard responses, slow  
Mouse responses.

We ran "top" from the terminal. Behold: no running apps were eating  
the CPU...but the kernal was taking 40%...very unusual, we had never  
seen this before.

We thought it was Dashboard at first.. (he's got a zillion  
widgets...). but the only thing that fixed it was finally running  
permissions repair. And, indeed the repair report revealed some  
permissions corruption in some very low-level system files... these  
were repaired and after re-boot, problem went away.
