CPU usage

[Urkle]

well, it's not really a static display.. as there is a LOT of dynamic lighting, PLUS you can move around a LOT of items. But as bajatar mentioned, pretty much every game MAXES out the CPU. Alot of time usually you only see one CPU loaded as most games are single threaded, but lately more and more are multi-threaded.. Penumbra is multi-threaded itself (although pretty much only in the audio subsystem, which is decoding a lot of Ogg audio)
