My LV8.2, XP application nominally runs at 10-15% cpu. If I just scan (mouse over) the run time menu categories (File,Edit,Operatre,Window) which in my case are a mix of custom and app menu items, I can easily bring the cpu to 100%. If I click once on, lets say the File menu so that the whole tree is now showing and then scan across the other menu categories, theyby eliciting each categories tree, then cpu usage is relatively modest 30-40%. Anybody have any idea what might be going on here???
