CPU usage went up

[Travis King]

Since SP2, my CPU usage has gone up slightly. It used to be when my
comptuer was in idle, it would say that the CPU was 0% used. Now since SP2,
it usually shows 2-3% when the computer's sitting there with nothing
running. Does SP2 take a little more CPU power? Has anybody else observed
this?

Can't really see much of a difference here. Why not look at running
processes to see which process it is thats constantly running @ when you
wouldn't expect it to, and then take a closer look at what its doing?
