Thanks for your response.

I loaded up System Monitor and although some CPUs spike to 80% twice for
just a fraction of a second the rest of the time none of them are over
10% utilized. As it is working on redrawing the screen, System Monitor
seems to show a completely idle system.

The machine I'm testing on has 8 extreme cores and 32Gig of main memory.

I'm puzzled.
