Note that WE uses more CPU in task manager if you have it maximized
especially with a large resolution and have TM set to refresh rapidly
because TM causes our OSM code to do a lot of work so it doesn't
always give you the true state of what WE is doing outside of
TM. You can use psinfo from pstools to get stats on processes from
the command line though.

Hi,
I doubt scripts are placing an extra load on your cpu; but, if you
want to see what is, press control-alt-del to bring up the dialog
that then, let's you press alt-t to bring up the task manager.
go to the processes tab.
make sure cpu usage is one of the displayed columns; you may have to
remove some of the others you are not interested in seeing, so that
it will fit on the line. the only other one you need to leave would
be the image name.
next, after you've selected what columns to see, use the mouse
cursor to move up to the top, and click on the "cpu usage" text at
the top of it's column. this will sort your list of running
processes by their cpu usage, and they will always be sorted from
now on when you come back here, until you change it.
now that they are sorted, move to the bottom of the list with
control-end, and you can hear which process is using the most cpu
time and how much that is.
it may not always be clear from the image name who it belongs to,
but wineyes is the window eyes process, and you can see if it's
using a lot of cpu time to execute scripts.
normally for me wineyes stays under 10%, usually under 5%. if you
see it taking 50%, then there is indeed a problem script.
I was able to find a problem touchpad driver on my laptop this way,
which at times would eat up all the cpu.

I like it! I use a demo until I get my real cd in a few weeks. One
question though. Sometimes scripting causes my PC to slow down and
my fan spin like crazy. What do you think is causing that?
