For what it's worth, the CPU overhead is about 4% before I open the DS application, so I suspect that it's not other applications running in the background that are causing the problem. I have noticed in other situations (my desktop PCs, for example) that when Windows Update is running there is no evidence. In other words, I'll be like "gosh this PC is running slowly" and then the PC will be like "but the CPU is only loaded to 4%" and then I'll be like "what about network activity?" and the PC will be like "no, I'm not doing anything" and I'll be like "huh." and the the PC will be like "oh, I've just downloaded an update, would you like to install it now?" and then I'm like "dangit!". [To use the parlance of the day.] I've got WU turned off on this laptop for exactly this reason.
Do you see any difference in processor utilization based on which tab on the DS is selected?
