Interesting observation which shows that unless you make the effort of understanding the design you may make faulty assumptions on what operations are the most demanding. Also, not all kinds of processing is equal from a noise perspective. It is quite likely that operations that require a few more cpu cycles but operate largely on cached data would cause less noise on the power supply than more IO-intensive tasks even though they might not take as much processing.
