note: I hope people are being "honest". It does not help anyone to intentially skew your results one way or the other.

btw, that 'Guest' above with the 2%/8% readings was me. After the 42nd bar, the usage fluctuates between 8% and 11% during the most active parts of the song. It's a bit of a shock to me since I'm currently having problems with my pc, even though I just reformatted and reinstalled everything into a dual-boot with a music-only partition, which has nothing but music apps with all XP whistles turned off.
