It's normal for the CPU load to go to max.  gnuchess is consuming all
the CPU time it can get, thinking about its next move.  Even when it's
your move, gnuchess is thinking ahead on your time.  During the
opening, in contrast, gnuchess is making moves from its book and not
thinking at all.

You will notice different behavior when you run gnuchess with xboard
than when you run the curses-based version, because by default the
curses-based version does not think on your time.

Maybe you mean to say that gnuchess doesn't come back with a response
to your move in a reasonable time?  If so, send me some mail and we
can work out what the problem is.  (When you say "similarly to Dr
Wright," that doesn't help, because he reported an entirely different
problem.)
