Hi Wschwab,

I\'m (also) very new here and already succeeded to bug the hell out of these moderators with annoyingly noobish questions too, but don\'t let that stop you \'cause it\'s the fun way to learn.. Especially with Les and the booze helping out :-)
I take his advise seriously and also do back-ups now an then, read his thread on this if you like: http://bbc.cpdn.org/forum_thread.php?id=1952#8299 (mind to suspend the Project and not the individual Tasks.. been there done that, not funny..)
I had the same reaction you had regarding the CPU usage and also tried to tune it down when not in screen-saver-mode, this is possible by using a process-manager prog called Threadmaster and some registry-tweaks but you really don\'t need it, Les\'s is absolutely right about the \'low\'process priority of CP app\'s and thus it\'s best to let it run at 100% all the time+ blank the screen-saver (you can watch \'show graphics to see the globe) On the left pane, under your name it says \'Joined Nov22, 2005\' so you\'re not really a new-comer then or what?
