Hi Lloyd, Sounds like you have a runaway process going on. Are you sure its syslogd not DNSResponder or mdworker running away? synslogd logs the process and if there is a runaway process syslogd will use a lot of CPU since it is so busy logging error messages.
Why not post a few lines of the Console log? Preferably some of the lines that seem to repeat the most. I’ll be out for a while, but will try to check my email later today.
