High CPU usage

Hey guys,

I am having a very difficult time understanding why my CPU has been high...
Mainly, I discovered after playing CS (Counter Strike), just lagging out of no where when my Internet speed is perfectly fine..
Turns out, my CPU usage would be at its 14% or whatnot, until I start moving my mouse. The moment I start drawing a circular motion across my screen, it goes up to 25~32%. When I start holding a click button and drag around (as if I am selecting multiple files), it goes up to 65~90%...

I HIGHLY doubt that it is my mouse.. I tried on my track pad, it does the same thing.
This never happened before from my understanding.

Quick introduction to my "laptop".
I am running 10.6 MacBookPro, 2007 model (NOT the black keys).

I have a boot camp installed running Windows 7, 32 bit. (Like I said, it ran perfectly fine in the past, just randomly started happening. I also tried formatting my Windows side, still the same).

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T8300 @2.40GHz
2Gbs Ram
nVidia's Geforce 8600M GT

My Mouse that I am using is Logitech G500. I did read on logitech forum about same issue but no solution. Ive also read same issue outside of logitech forum too... which is why I doubt its my mouse. I also uninstalled my logitech mouse driver (SetPoint) still does this.

Anyone know why this is happening? o.O
 
virus and malfunctioning apps consume cpu resources. Open task manager to see which app or process is using more than 10% of your procesor n disable it for a while to compare cpu performance.

This is quite normal in a dual core CPU. Don't worry about that unless you are noticing some serious performance drop in your applications.
