When Windows Update is scanning for updates the CPU usage is high. With the WU 3.0 client
there is some improvement in the time to show the updates compared to the previous WU 2.0
client. This however depends upon the number of updates that are being checked for
applications that are installed on your system such as MS Office, Visual Studio and/or SQL
server.

Basically the improvement is that after installing the 3.0 client, the system stays
"responsive". You'll see the "svchost.exe" peaking at 90%. Previously the system would
have frozen.

You can always use only Windows automatic updates and manually scan for your Office
updates if this is a problem.

see-

When you use Automatic Updates to scan for updates or to apply updates to applications
that use Windows Installer, you experience issues that involve the Svchost.exe process

Basically download the new Windows Update Client and Apply hotfix 927891
