Cyclic CPU use - 27th Jul 2012 6:04pm
Odd one this.
I was watching CPU use on my laptop using Task Manager. About every 8 seconds there is a spike in CPU use. With nothing else apparently working CPU goes from 3-5% typical to a spike of abround 60-70% use on this 8 sec or so cyclic basis.
If I look at "processes" in operation - these do not change their memory requirements.
If I disconnect from the internet then CPU use more or less flatlines at a few%.
Anybody any clues as to WHY ?
Do I need to worry about something ?
