Exactly the same thing happened to me.  Killing the kerneloops program
didn't cause a reduction in CPU activity; massive system activity was
replaced by massive user activity, but I couldn't find out which process
was responsible.  Removing kerneloops -- "rpm --erase kerneloops" --
brought instant relief.

What's going on?  Any advice for investigation?
