Peter, this definitely isn't right; it isn't a common experience. Have you tried closing various Entourage <windows> rather than the entire app? I've seen cases where, for some reason, a particular window was causing me the problem (IIRC often an HTML message). Closing that window freed up the CPU.
Also, I'd wonder about your disk space, and disk fragmentation. Do you have LOTS of free space (> 1 GB) on your startup disk partition? I've seen everything slow down when swap file space was getting scarce, as can happen after days of uptime. And try running a defrag program on your disks. I see a marked speed improvement and diminished CPU time every time I defrag my disks. It takes forever, but the results are worth it. (Plus Optimizer is part of the Disk Warrior package, and slow; SpeedDisk is part of Norton, and fast, but you have to tweak it by defining a special OS X profile if you want efficient file placement. Not for the squeamish; it took me quite a while to figure it out even after reading a post about it on OSXFAQ.) On or near 1/22/2003 6:15 PM, Peter C.S.
