Tried asking this stuff before (http://www.southperry.net/showthread.php...6&p=391733), never got any resolution...
Been living with the problem, but with the lag spikes (like most people have had for a few patches) I've wondered if fixing this will help with the spikes, if not its still worth fixing.
I can post updated picts if needed, as i type, maple is using 45-50% CPU, Firefox is using 1-10% and "system" is using the 45%+. Rarely does usage go below 100%, though something strange is that system is only 36K of memory and is still using like 50% of my CPU. (note that this is while the computer is in use not while idle in any way shape of form)
I have a P4 with HyperThreading (could look up specifics if needed) if that matters (someone asked about being a dual core in the last thread).
