Hi
I was having issues with my two processors overheating for nearly two weeks now.
Many things crossed my mind. One being that I did a Java update on Leopard at the same time this started happening.
However, I was reassured that this was not the case.
I also noticed that mds process was making a great deal of fuss in the processor usage.
However, this morning I finally hit on something.
I had the latest beta 1.4 of AdiumX installed.
I looked at my processes and found that it was taking 63+% of the processors almost constantly.
I have now downgraded to the latest stable version 1.3.6 and my fan is not spinning half as much and my CPU actually reached 58C today. Lowest its been in a while.
I don't know if its a memory leak or something, but it seems to have been the culprit on my machine.
Hope this helps in any fixes.

CPU overheat
If you don't know how to use a computer, buy a Mac.
Re: CPU overheat
Hello, I've had the same. I think this was due to the use of an applet or an application. For me, it was the Istat Menu meter & safari which cause this overheating.
I've no miracle solution. I've tried each and seen if it change something :
Erased Safari preference files
erased Adium preferences and daowngraded to 1.3.6
In many many many times, problems come from preferences or from the folder Adium 2.0 and form preferences.
