<div class="KonaBody"><p>We’ve received a fair share of comments and emails about <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/06/06/mac-os-x-lion-developer-preview-4-download/">Mac OS X Lion Dev Preview 4</a> making some Macs seem sluggish, running hotter than usual, and causing the machines fans to run at full speed. This sounded concerning, but after I went about installing Lion DP4 myself and looked into this a bit further I’m here to report there’s nothing wrong, and here’s what’s going on.</p> <p>Why is the Mac running hot?
