It is a bug in the utility. System Monitor is well known for its wholly
inaccurate
reporting of processor usage. Have your friend use Wintop from the old
Win95 Kernel
Toys, or Process Explorer from Sysinternals:

High, I was around a friends house the other day, and he has this strange
behaviour of system monitor.

Some software, he showed me freecell, but it does it at other times as
well,
seems to make the processor usage on the graph go to 100 percent and stay
there, but the little resource figures pull back once the activity dies
down
and are what you would expect from a 233mhz machine, though thereafter
the
machine seems jerky.

is this some known bug of the utility, or is this some early warning of a
potential problem.
