I just checked on my system. Having the paragraph catalog open while moving
the cursor through my document using the keyboard does increase usage, but
only to about 3%. I'm actually not surprised by that, since the cursor is
moving through the paragraph tags and the catalog reflects whatever tag is
applied at the point the cursor is in. Same thing with the paragraph
designer. This is the expected behavior.

I'm using FM 2020, which is the first FM version available in only 64-bit.
Oddly, it too is running the Legacy32.exe, but doing so under Background
Processes. I have no idea what that's for.

My system is a Dell Latitude 5510 with an i7-10610 processor and 32Gb of
RAM.
