Subject: CPU usage on dual PC

Author: Gordon Rattray

Hi,

When running Deep Fritz on my dual PC, the Window's task manager shows both CPUs
as being close to 100% busy.  Ok, no surprise there.

But when I run Hiarcs, I also see both CPUs at 100%.  This is surprising since
Hiarcs only uses one CPU.  There's nothing else of significance running on the
PC.  In the process listing, the chess program entry is close to 100% (not
50%)?!  Do any others see this for single CPU chess programs?  If so, what
accounts for both CPUs being busy?  Is the GUI thread doing something bizarre?

thanks for any suggestions,

Gordon
