This is mainly caused by people who stress test their (overclocked) 
computers. Stress testing doesn't work with dual core processors, so you 
have to feed two Prime95 instances two exponents to get the desired 
results. Another part of the problem is that there are many websites on 
the net that advise to download Prime95 and just run it to stress the 
processor.

Yours on the Net,
