Weird. I've been watching mine for some time now, and when it's just sitting idle it's using between 0 and 2% of the CPU.

GoogleChrome OTOH (my browser which I otherwise LOVE!) is a CPU hog. Right now, with 9 tabs open, it's munching almost 40% of the CPU...

Neither of them is using insane amounts of RAM though. Just CPU power.
