I'm stuck using the older version of Unison 1.8.1, and compared to MT-NW, it pales in comparison. -- Liberals believe in global warming because of the scientific data.

I downloaded VM Fusion and imported the Parallels VM into it. Fusion too uses a full CPU. I think it's something dumb like OS/2 constantly polling the keyboard in a tight loop and using up all of a CPU even when otherwise idle. -- John Varela

Fusion. Running WinXp, Ubuntu and Suse concurrently. They can each have
various idle apps, and the CPU cores are idle as well (other than the
usual background stuff)
See here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ysg1gl62rgh0e1u/2014-T4%20personnel%20data.xlsx?dl=0
The CPU is at at about 3.25% (26% total over / 8 cores). And that was
immediately after loading all three OS' (concurrently).
As I write this it has calmed down further still... about 15% overall
spread over 8 cores. (including HT cores in that) - so less than 2%
overall CPU load.

Some applications are notoriously bad for being resource hogs - some like Parallels / Fusion are by semi-necessity, while others like web browsers, Flash, or anything from Microsloth and a lot of Adobe's stuff are by buggy and bad programming. Even teh Finder and Mac OS X can benefit from an occasional reboot to get rid of accumulated garbage.

I usually have Excel and Word loaded most of the time and they don't
affect anything when they're not being used. The only annoying thing is
"Open Recent" and Excel/Word pinwheel waiting for attached drives to
spin up.

Indeed. Every 30 - 60 days seems to be fine.

There's nothing wrong with picking your nose in public, but it sometimes bugs people. This is what bugs me. There are worse things: Cancer, car accidents, spilled paint--the list is too long to ennumerate. But I thought the *nature* of this quibbling was about quibbling over the mundane. Who cares if people leave programs "open"? Ant does.
