Nope, no engine match - just using infite analysis.

I noticed another thing...  before starting the GUI, CPU usage is close to 0%.
I start the GUI and it goes to around 50%, and stays there.  I start infinite
analysis (with Hiarcs) and it goes to around 100%.

It's the intermediate 50% that confuses me.  Why does starting the GUI alone
cause this?!  I do assume it's something particular to my setup, but can't
figure out what.
