Hello folks,

I am the developer of a CAD type application used for mapping.  This 
program is sometimes used to perform very processor intensive operations 
on very large databases. When I use process explorer (from sysinternals) 
to examine it's CPU usage it always shows 50%? (With the system idle 
process getting the other 50%) Can anyone tell me what is going on 
here?? (in contrast for example, when I use Acrobat Pro to create a 
document it routinely runs right up at 99-100% typically?)

Any help on this will be appreciated...

	Bruce Larrabee
