My earlier inclinations that my errant SyncServer process was being caused by some sort of cross Atlantic technical glitch proved to be incorrect. When I returned home, the SyncServer process kept reaching into the 90-100% range of my CPU on a regular basis, making my MacBook Air unusable.

I couldn’t even open the .Mac Preferences to turn off syncing without System Preferences crashing. The only fix was to turn off all Internet connections.

So I decided to just do a complete wipe and reinstall and now of course the problem is solved. Incredibly lame, but at least the reinstall didn’t take too long.
