What are the issues you were having through OS X. What version or description was it. Why do you imagine it utilizes too much CPU. I have encompassed a 1.47Ghz G4 running OS X 10.5.8 and do not have several issues. The OS X uses very diminutive CPU, and I know for the reason that I monitor it the entire the time through a Menubar addon. If something is utilizing your CPU all the time, then there is something wrong that with the intention of needs addressing.
