Gavin, I haven’t checked, but I am not surprised. The bigger the program, the more bells and whistles, the more bloat, then the more CPU usage and the slower the speed.
50 – 60% is not that high, on my old XP machine I found that 80 – 90% was not uncommon.

I use a netbook and with V7.5 clicking from one person to another in family view is snappy with response at less than 1 sec and CPU usage spiking to 20-30%. In V8 with the same database (upgraded not changed) changes take 1-2 secs and CPU usage is 50-60%. Any ideas or similar experiences? Gavin...
