Hi Chris and all: Just took another look at the Activity Monitor and VoiceOVer is running at about 9 and 11 % and has 20 threads running. The number of threads seem to be based on how many windows are open at once. I conducted the following test. I have three programs running at the moment; Mail, Activity Monitor, and finder plus other services which are running in the background. The number of threads that VoiceOver is using at the moment is 20. In Mail I did a Shift+Command+a to open the address panel and took another look at the Activity Monitor. The number of threads increased to 21. So the results I am seeing here seem to show that a VoiceOver thread is opened for every window opened on the system. This makes sense since VoiceOver has to interact with every window that is presented by an application.
