  "major issues using CS6 on Mavericks"
  Why am I not surprised?

  Forced obsolesce, Photoshop is very poorly coded anyway and mostly single threaded.

  "I have a year old mac and kernel_task was eating all my resources. Its the process that handles things like spotlight indexing."
  No... that would be mds & mdworker and probably anything else with md (metadata) at the front of it.

  Kernel_task:
  "The kernel uses a single task—the kernel task—with multiple threads that perform kernel operations such as scheduling, thread reaping, callout management, paging, and Unix exception handling"

  Badly coded .ktexts might be causing it problems though, e.g things that require drivers like external soundcards etc
