I get this bug every time I shutdown my computer, wait at least 30 seconds, then boot.
The bug is a fluctuating mouse/system lag issue that makes the system unusable.
If I don't rebuild extensions.mkext on first boot back into snow, the bug will come back next following boot into snow, making me have to copy an old extensions.mkext into /Extra from windows, which is by the way useless until I rebuild it again inside of snow.

It makes me think that something connected to extensions is creating a signature, that no longer is valid when I shutdown my computer for more then 30 seconds. whatever flag or setting it is, it gets recreated when I schedule a new extension.mkext to by made by Kext Helper in osx.
