Random daemons running amok and using 100% CPU is a tale as old as Mac OS X. I've encountered them from time to time on every Mac I've had since I first installed 10.1 "Puma" on my lime green iMac DV in 2001. Sometimes you can just kill it and it'll stay dead, other times it'll respawn and continue its misbehavior. Sometimes a restart will permanently fix it, other times it'll happen occasionally until it just doesn't anymore. Often there are people asking about it on forums like this post, but rarely does anyone have any insight into what's going on.

- kmeisthax 3y agoI don't get how the hell the company that is laser-focused on power efficiency - like to the point of having separate display scanout RAM just so they can ramp down system DRAM separately - also has a perpetual problem with out-of-control daemons eating the CPU. iOS and it's derivatives should have the same problems macOS has, but we can't see any of the performance data on an iPhone (unless you're jailbroken), so this probably just crops up as random complaints about hot iPhones with flat batteries.
