CPU Usage consistently above 75%
 

When highlighting cells in Excel 2000, the CPU usage is constantly at 75% and
higher. The OS is Windows 2000, 500 Mb ram.

CPU Usage consistently above 75%
 

Why is this a bad thing?

Shouldn't windows decide how many resources excel will need and allocate things
accordingly?

From a non-technical person, I'd say let windows be windows and let excel be
excel.

On the other hand, do you have a co-worker with the same set up as you (and
about the same number of applications/processes running)?

If you do, what do they show?

(This non-technical person doesn't have a response in either case, though.)
