Fire up SETI or Prime95. That'll do it.

Turn it to what? Do you mean turn it *off*?

"System Idle Process" is the name for what the computer is doing
when it isn't doing anything. It's just there to make the total
add up to 100%. There's nothing to turn off.

You can download and run Prime95 (www.mersenne.org) .. that'll reduce
system idle %age to zero right quickly (although your CPU temperature
will go up 5-7 degrees c, and your electricity bill may increase
slightly). 8>.
