Hi Michael, I experience the same issue with ABBYY FineReader Express. I suspect FineReader uses lots of CPU cycles while performing it's OCR processes. In fact, FineReader is one of the few apps guaranteed to exercise the cooling fan on my 2011 Macbook Air, which rarely breaks a sweat under normal circumstances with it's 1.8ghz i7 CPU..
I haven't found any tweaks that fix this particular issue, so when I know I'll be OCR'ing anything larger than a page or two, I will plan ahead and kick off the OCR process during a time when I don't need to use the computer for any other tasks.
