question is: does it fix the infamous kernel_task problem?

astrange on April 23, 2014 [–]

High CPU in kernel_task means one of your CPU cores is being force-idled because the computer is too hot or the wrong charger is being used. It's not a bug.

(There could be bugs causing excessive CPU/GPU usage heating up the machine. This is the kind of thing you'd want to report!)
