OK, that is far too many typos, even for me...

"have you tried running activity monitor to see what process is running, if there is one ? What you describe is not normal, for any OS version. You (probably) have some process mis-behaving."

falling that, have you tried cleaning out your mac book of dust bunnies etc. ? If you have never done it it is likely jam packed with dust and this can have a serious effect on the cooling system, causing the fans to run a lot more than then otherwise would.

What MacBook is that? I have the MacBook5,2 maxed out with 8GB RAM, currently 
on 10.11.6, and it’s a pain. The fan is always at maximum speed, even though 
CPU usage isn’t that high. Very tiring to work on.

What Mac OS X version works well on this model, and would still be reasonably 
compatible with modern software?

Now that MacPorts is on 2.4.2, is High Sierra now fair game?  Is it likely to 
be even more bloated and slower on my old 4GB MacBook than before?

Thanks.
