Re: Update on mac running hot, from bad to worse!
I wonder if you are having issues with one of the preference files? I looked around on my Macintosh, and did not find anything in ~/Library/Preferences with spell in the name. There is a spell directory within the library that has your private dictionary. Perhaps if you move that directory temporarily to a safe place and then try to get the spell check to go hot. Esther also recommended that perhaps you want to turn off Spell as you type option. This would mean you would not get blips or other notifications as soon as you type a mis-spelled word, but does take that whole spelling check out of the keyboard input stream. I hope all of the above makes sense.

Re: Update on mac running hot, from bad to worse!
Hi Kary: This really sounds like an issue to consult Apple's tech support about. Someone there might be able to point you to a more long term solution. I don't know if you have tried doing a search of the Apple site for the issue, but it might be worth a look. Best of luck, and I hope you don't end up having to take your Mac in.

Re: Update on mac running hot, from bad to worse!
Hi Kari, If you can bring up a terminal window (Command-Shift-U in Finder to go to the Utilities folder, press t to go to Terminal and Command-Down arrow to launch). You can kill the applespell.service process if you know its process ID number. For example, if the process ID number were 1210 listed in the table, you would type: kill -9 1210 in terminal, and then press return. It may take a little while to bring up a terminal window if your CPU is thrashing, but if you read off the ID number you can force the applespell.service to quit. The kill -9 is the equivalent to a force quit, and is only used in emergencies. A regular kill should quite the process in most cases. HTH.
