the 10.6.4 Update contains just the changes from 10.6.3 to 10.6.4.

Hey guys, having some problems with my MacBook Air after installing the new update via Software Updater.
Soon after the update, I could hear the fan spinning much higher than it normally should when just browsing the net. After checking iStat, the CPU was running at 78 Degrees. Toasty. I checked activity monitor and nothing was eating up CPU time so I thought nothing of it, until now.
Once again, the laptop has ramped up the fan and the temperature is hitting 85 degrees as I type. Looking in Activity Monitor, I see that Kernel_Task is using 156% of the CPU - I've yet to see it drop below 150%.
Consequently, my laptop has ground to a halt, it's taken forever to write this post. My OS X knowledge is worse than my Windows, and that is poor at best. A quick google has yielded no useful (or up to date) results, so does anyone on OcUK have any suggestions?
Thanks.

This is what I thought just after posting as it has happened to me before. But the spotlight logo in the top right isn't animated as it normally ise when indexing, and the mds process is using next to nothing CPU wise either.
Right time to sound a bit mac useless but is there a way to roll back to 10.6.3?? (proper windows style i know) as my mbp has become horrifically unresponsive since I installed it, firefox keeps beachballing when im using more than 3 tabs (at a guess), iv got the nvidia chip so im experiencing the steam problems and loading up things like itunes kills my mac for 30 seconds till it starts going again... 
Wifi issues here, all other machines are fine but my MBP won't auto connect and keeps coming back with "Connection timed out" or "Invalid Password"
If I move to within a foot of the AP it connects as it should and will stay connected wherever I am...otherwise it takes about 40 attempts to connect.

Wow... that's not often they come around! Heard there were problems in steam for people, did anyone find a fix for that?
10.6.1 - September 2009

10.6.3 - March 2010

Ive played a lot and not experienced any issues with Steam since upgrading to 10.6.4... well my only issue wasnt related to the update, it was just my firewall was acting up.
