While it might not help any, more info than you probably care about on
what warmd does can be found here:

I'm assuming you did a full power down and then power up with the
monitor attached. If I recall the mini checked the monitor as part of
the powerup process and adding a monitor later didn't help things.

Mike, it has taken me a while but I have finally been able to compare my two
Mac Minis with activity monitor. Unfortunately, they don't look very different
from each other. This is unfortunate because it gives me no more of an
explanation for why one of them is running the way it is. The only processes
that show a great amount of activity our activity monitor and voiceover. There
is another one that's called warmd and I don't know what it does. it isn't
using any CPU but I just wonder about it, because it's owned by nobody.
I purchased cocktail, and I'm very glad I did. I have run it on both minis and
done some tweaking, but it hasn't changed the situation on the one that is
sick. It still runs extremely erratically, and voiceover cannot speak more than
a few syllables without being cut off. Everything is still busy, even if the
only thing running his finder. I'm starting to wonder if there's something
going on with the hardware. It seems very sudden, but it's the only conclusion
I have left.

Cocktail is an app that allows you to tweak some things, it will also do things
like clear your cache.
You can look at the processes on your mac by going in to activity monitor, you
will find it in the utilities folder.
Original message:
Mike, What is cocktail exactly?
Also, how can I learn more about the processes on the Mac and what they do. I
am curious about the comparisons between the PC processes, which I know like
the back of my hand, and the Mac side of the coin, which is all still very new
to me.

If anyone is curious, I was able to figure this out. Even when I only had
finder running, voiceover would still say there were 2 running apps. The
notification center is considered an app, even though you cannot command tab to
it, or select it from the dock. Since I never use this feature, I used an
application called cocktail to disable it, now the number of running
applications is spoken correctly.
