Is WMP11 Still A Resource Hog?

[Guest]

I can't stand it in XP when in Media Player's Library, when you move
your mouse pointer over the tracks list in the center, your CPU goes
100%

Since I use a Tablet, this really ticks me off heaps as it keeps making
the unintelligent Intel SpeedStep to go 220MHz for "heat-dissipation"
reasons...

Now... to prove Vista is Mobile friendly, WMP11 should use as less CPU
as possible. Otherwise...

Actually on my 256MB machine, it actually runs better at tims than WinAmp,
but I guess it depends on what you've got running in Media Player. I've got
Glass on it, the standard visualisations, and when I minimise it, it then
goes into the taskbar.

It seems fine over here )
