That one is a stumper. I wonder if they are seeing it too.

For quite some time this has been a frustrating issue. I have re-installed OS X over and over, yet still, the same problem..
I am running a Power Mac dual 2ghz G5 with 4 gigs of ram. Power PC chip.
After a good 2 hours of being on, sometimes running demanding apps, sometimes not, the computer starts to act real sluggish. The mouse putts around on the screen, apps take a long time to open up and do so in a choppy manner.
I opened up the "processes" utility and the kernel is running at 50% with no other apps running.
Once I reboot, everything is back to normal, nice and fast like it should be the whole entire time..
I searched quite a bit on the web and to my amazement, not many topics on this matter.. Is it just me? Is there anything that might fix this? Do OS X 4.0+ users have this same issue?
I really appreciate anyone who takes the time to respond. This has been driving me mad for sometime and any help would be great!
Thanks!
