      CPU Graph shows 50% CPU usage.

      System Information shows 25% CPU usage.

      Which one is right?  I have an Atom N330 dual core 1.6ghz + hyperthreading (2 physical cores, 4 threads).

        If you have a dual core system, the CPU graph will probably go up to 200% (100% per core)

        The other CPU indicator is probably compensating for this, and is showing 25% (which is accurate if half of one core is used, give or take.)

          That makes sense, I didn't think about that. And the Atom N330 has 4 virtual cores, 2 physical cores, so 50% on a dual core = 25% on a quad core. And I was messing with the device polling setting and with 1.25MB/sec coming through the router to my LAN, the CPU is pretty taxed with polling = true. With polling = false, the CPU is bored with nothing to do. ;)

            I'm seeing the same thing.
