[PD] CPU Object...

[Mike McGonagle]

You might want to check into the Activity Monitor (it is in the
Utilities folder on the Mac), and check to see if there are any
"stray" instances of PD still running. I have found that when PD
crashes on my machine, it will still have an instance of PD still
running, even though the GUI has shut down. If you find one, you can
select it and do a Force Quit on it. Usually when I have had these
instances running, they will eat up a lot of processor time.
