I see peaks of around 35-45% for VS .NET 2005 and 50-60% for SciTE. For you, is SciTE much better than Scintilla/GTK+? Not that there's anything wrong with using 100% CPU in software: if there's something to do then do it. > 3) is this because of "excess" / unbuffered syntax coloring? After you've scrolled through the file once its all styled. Does it still use the same resources?
