    Hello. Since installing the new release version, I've noticed that my machine is running 25 degrees or so hotter while Parallels is running. I run smcFanControl and I've been pretty cognizant of temperatures for a couple of months now because I like to kick the system fans on earlier than the standard settings do.

    Since the only thing I've changed on my system is installing the new version of Parallels, and it only does this while Parallels is running, I think it is the likely cause.

    Is anyone else experiencing anything like this?

    no
    I don't use any fan utility
    but use my macBook Pro on a metal plate as an extra heat sink

    checking the Activity Monitor
    parallels takes about 55% as a back window
    with google tools
    hotmail and windows live messnger

    which are all constantly phoning home
