Default High CPU usage GPU folding.
I hear everyone say that in Vista gpu folding only uses about 7% of the cpu when active. Did I misunderstand this or is what I have attached perfectly normal?

I have the latest 9.1's. It has always been like this for me in vista. Should it be lower?

When I am folding on my GPUs, my second CPU core hovers around 25% usage.

True, ATI cards need a lot of your CPU power to fold; that's why all folders switch to nvidia. I'm gonna miss my 4850 T_T
