    I'm sorry if this is a repost, but I didn't have time to search all the way through.

    When I rebooted just now, I noticed that my lap was about to start on fire. I looked at Menumeters, and both processors were at 70%+. The process list wasn't helpful, and it took me a long time to figure out what to do to fix it. Finally, I unchecked "windows sharing" in the Sharing Preferences, and both processors went back to 1%.

    Now, I have no idea if this has anything to do w/ Parallels. But since Parallels is the only reason I had Windows sharing on in the first place, I thought I would post this, in case it helps someone else.

    This has been reported, along with logs filling up with sharing errors, but doesn't happen to everyone. I have Windows sharing on so that I can access my Mac from my Windows machines, and don't have the processor usage problem.
