explorer.exe 12,200
DWM.exe 28,200
sidebar.exe 6,000
and taskmgr.exe itself 3,300
The usage fluctuates wildly with me doing nothing but having IE on. Mostly 80-100.
Tried opening a video through Windows Media, and that flatlined it at 100% for the duration.
There are 83 processes running, and just the one application: Internet Explorer.
