I've been watching Windows TaskMgr while using 99SE SP6 under W2K for the 
past several days. I notice that CPU usage goes to 100% essentially any time 
that 
Protel hsa a crosshair cursor (moving parts, routing traces, etc.).

I have also noticed that the CPU usage creeps up over several hours. There's 
a red graph that seems to be some sort of baseline system usage, and a green 
line that seems to be application usage. It's the red line that seems to creep 
upward. It's almost like a memory leak, only for CPU cycles. This has only 
been happening for the past couple of weeks, and the baseline leak doesn't seem 
to be related to Protel, but I can't find anything else. Just did a very 
thorough virus scan, that doesn't seem to be it. I had installed an HP printer 
driver around the time I first noticed this, and have also recently upgraded 
(sidegraded?) W2K to SP3 and then SP4.

Any thoughts?
