1) seems that an E8400 is reported as an intel pentium3 xeon by sl...but that is not the main issue
2) both cores of the e8400 are running above 90% all the time wich seems a lot...
3) when selecting another window than SL (ex:internet explorer) then one core goes to 100% constant and the other core goes down to 20% / but sometimes they both stay at above 90% to 99%
4) when in SL, if the avatar is static, then both cores go near 100% and frame rate is around 90 per second but if i start walking in SL then frame rate drops to around 40 and cores drops to about 70%
5) as an exemple, : i am now writting to you so one core is at 100% constant and the other core at 20 %
6) if i select only one core for SL, then that core is constant at 100% whatever i do on the PC, for exemple now i am writting to you and i selected only one core for Sl. this one core was at 100% constant, then i left this page to go onto SL, i walked a bit and came back to this page...now both cores are running at about 16 to 20 %
7) this is a very disturbing bug as it puts the pc under a lot of stress.
