I've been wondering what would cause my new MBP to start crawling periodically with super high kernel_task usage (600%). Is this kind of throttling common practice for Windows or Linux? To me, this echoes what's been happening with iOS slowdowns and feels to me like compensating for poor cooling on the MBPs.
