Hi. Yes I realised after I posted I had cool-n-quiet enabled (sorry I didn't get the opportunity to edit my original post). I added the processor frequency stats to perfmon. One core was throttled to 800MHz and the other was flicking between 800 and 1800.

So its using 35% of a dual core processor clocked at 800MHz while idle. That still seems like a lot - if I close media portal the CPU drops down to 5% (of the 800MHz rate) when just displaying the windows desktop.

I appreciate its a small amount but I am trying to track down what might be causing glitches to my recordings. I want to make sure there isn't some loop running in Mediaportal that is using up CPU time at inopportune moments.
