So ever since i updated to HS on my 2017 MBP i have gotten constant spindumps that uses over 120% CPU and thus ruining my battery life.

I tried to turn it off but spindump is "protected": "Operation not permitted while System Integrity Protection is engaged"

Im not sure i want to reboot into recovery mood and turn of SIP, is that really my only option to turn of spindump? Why is the spindump process even protected by SIP? Spindump is not a critical service, i never look at the crash reports/log and i don't send them to Apple anymore so i have absolutely no use for spindump, i don't want to sacrifice 1-2 battery life for collecting reports i never look at.

So, is disabling SIP my only option? Really?
