After upgrading from Mountain Lion GM to the purchased version and then version 10.8.1 I've noticed a few strange problems:

1. The system generally runs warmer, it used to be cool to the touch after a few hours, now after an hour I find the fans warming up.

2. If I run my hand across the top of the screen, some strange new bumps have appeared, although nothing is visible (this is probably nothing to do with ML, but i'm curious)

3. CPU usage has gradually increased to around 2.4% from 0.0% even when nothing is running.

4. HDD usage never seems to reach 0 in / 0 out, although I have 0 page outs in Activity Monitor

Does anyone have any idea about what I can do to remove these issues:
