I know what Idle means. My machine calculates system idle process in with
the total cpu usage. There is a difference. When a machine is running right
the "System Idle Process" usage doesn't add to the CPU usage at the bottom of
the task manager window. But when it is acting as described above the "System
Idle Process" usage does add to the total and will hog all your resources and
bog your
machine. I and others are trying to find a cure, not something stupid like
"break out a dictionary" as was suggested in another thread.
