I am not windows weenie, but cant you control how much CPU is used
"in the backgroud" on a windows machine?  Prolly in Control Panel
somewhere or each process has its own settings.  Maybe your background
CPU usage setting is low.  I'm taking a guess here.  I only play quake
on my Windows machine dont really use it that much
