| Jan 27, 2011 at 16:12 | comment | added | Jesse Baer | lsof seems very useful. Didn't find a specific suspicious file to try fuser on. Trying fs_usage right now on configd (see answer to NSGod below). @Nathan - nope, neither. | |

Perhaps better than lsof or fuser is fs_usage. Some combination of those three, limited to just the process that is hogging the CPU (found via top), ought to help, assuming I/O is involved.

You can use lsof to list open files. Also helpful might be fuser.

The next time it comes up run top -o cpu from Terminal to get a better grasp on what is going on.
