Hi John, The CPU percentage continually jumps from one value to another at all times. The highest that I saw it go to was 82% but only for a second, then the lowest value was at 24%. Thor22 is the most hungry, it was in Thor22 that it reached 82%. PSK250R highest percentage of use was at 74% and again only for a second then it changes value.
