Hm! I wonder of this has happened to me - as I occasionally have noticed that I do seem to get very high CPU load on only one core, and nothing on the other of long periods of time...

Jason Snell and other have noticed that Intel’s Santa Rosa chip architecture, used by the MacBook Air, shuts down a core when it gets too hot. The result? At random times, generally on warm days and generally in the afternoon after you’ve been using my MacBook Air for a while, the computer will become crazily unresponsive.
