I have no doubt about that, and for a DVD viewer I can see this. But of the
software you use during the day, what percentage of it would you say uses
any serious amount of cpu time? I mean click on task manager and look at
your current processes, what's got a bigger number than the idle time
process?

For 99% of what people write, I really don't believe cpu time is an issue.
