Put this into the signature; specify the OS (XP, which SP) too.

This is a screen shot of some weirdness I had reported to GS. Under the navigator you can see what is running. Sometimes, but not always I appears many copys are running, which could obviously eat processors. I don't know if that's you case or not, but something you might look at when you notice it. The only way I found to "fix" it is to close and reopen AC.

The screen shot shows several projects running, and closing and then reopening the project increases the "running" projects multi-fold, not just 1 additional times. I have seen it with 30 or moire "running".

I found a solution to the problem that i have, i dont know if its the best , but for now works, when the cpu usage increase to the 100%, i check for the processes, and after a los of trial and error, i found that clossing a particulary process the cpu usage goes to a normal level of 2 or 7%, the process have this name "40exmodul32.exe" sometimes the 40 number change, 45, 17, etc.
