[hlds] srcds--when minimized

I have a strange problem. First off the computer is a HP server with dual 
pentium and 1.5GB of RAM. Running WinXP Pro SP2. Connection speed is 490kbps 
upload and 2.8mbps download.

 I run HL2 deathmatch and when I first start the server the fps stays at 290 
for a little while then levels off at around 250. The cpu usage is low under 
5%. The cpu load rises about 5% or so per player that joins. If  I minimize the 
srcds window though, the cpu usage rises 50% higher than where it was and the 
fps drops off to around 140. When I maximize the window, cpu goes back down and 
fps jumps back up to 250.

 Any ideas? The computer isn't being used for anything else when this happens. 
Doesn't matter if players are on or not, still does it. When the server is not 
full gameplay is still smooth, but if I minimize the window when the server is 
full (10 players) the cpu load gets maxed out and is unplayable until some 
players drop.

 I can just leave the window maximized, but was wondering if others saw the 
same thing or just me.
