Yes, for me I notice it has gone to 25% (of an apparently 4-core

Everything uses multiple threads to complete much of its work in
parallel, and that could impact CPU usage. You can edit the
everything.ini file to change the max_threads. I think max_threads=0
means to disable throttling of thread count. You could max_threads=x,
where x is the number of logical CPUs (cores) minus 1, or to a lesser
number to generate less threads for Everything. With less threads,
updating will take longer but as less CPU usage.

It's set to 0 at the moment. When I've looked at task manager when it
goes to 25%, it isn't all in one core, though it's not symmetrical - two
of them seem busier than the other two.

So you're obviously looking at the Performance tab in XP's Task Manager.
I'm sure you've done this next part, but I'll ask anyway. Do you also
flip over to the Processes tab of Task Manager and click the CPU column
to verify that it's Everything that's using the most CPU? It'd be a
shame to chase after Everything, only to find that something else is the
culprit. Not that I think there's actually a culprit, but that's another
matter.
