This is very true! I think we're due for an upgrade to allow for better multitasking. With current hardware I'm used to remaining in a sleep state for longer periods but this child process causes both processors to awaken more often than normal. This excess processor usage is causing some problems with overheating so we're also determing ways to resolve the cooling issue.
