Diagnose Kernel Task High CPU Usage


is there way check causing high kernel task cpu usage. times, when not doing anything, kernel task cpu usage jump 40+%. mbp starts feeling sluggish - i.e. animations choppy, moving cursor lags, , feels slower. happened me 5 minutes ago. mbp asleep, came , woke up, had 2 tabs of safari , powerpoint open in background, , noticed sluggish/laggy. checked activity monitor cpu usage , saw kernel task on 40% , windowserver @ 20%...

i'm wondering if there software can let me see root cause of kernel task usage is. feel i'm on wild goose chase trying figure out. i'd avoid reformatting mbp see if potentially goes away...lol
