Would need a lot more info on the setup. A lot of things can cause Macs to run hot. AXE Edit does add some strain to mine and can trigger the fan, but only when I am running it in combo with some other power hogs like an external monitor, or other software like a DAW or Transcribe or something. It's just A factor, not THE factor. So... yes sure... I have this issue, but I don't see it as an issue... just that I have to manage how much I am asking of my MBpro.
I think this is the same issue, macbook pro is pretty powerful, an application like Axe III Edit should not need to be as heavy as a DAW...

Year old MacBook Pro here. Doesn't run overly hot, but Axe-Edit does get the fan going and drains the battery at a decent clip. For this reason, I try not to run another high-load program like Logic and Axe-Edit at the same time too much.
Another example of such issue, Axe-Edit should not be as heavy as a DAW. IMHO, I feel there is CPU hotspot somewhere in the codes that could be optimized away.
@iaresee
This is what I suspected, the issue is likely more wild spread than the mere 2 cases reported in the other thread, but others might be more willing to manage/tolerate it than reporting it. In my case:
1. My macbook is pretty fresh with pretty much the highest configuration, e.g.
2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9, with minimum software install, I have Chrome and my IDEA open which never gave me trouble by themselves.
2. I do use an external monitor with 2550x1440 resolution, this again alone give me no trouble to CPU or fan, even when other heavy programs running concurrently.
It's possible that there are
excessive midi communication between the unit and computer that is ramping up the CPU and fan.
