Thanks for all the input guys, but the problem was the one stated by Clubsoft, it's just my lousy version of MMF (1.2). I made a test-app, http://www.mediafire.com/?xerrledzkao ,256 colors, no extension or anything, it's just a backdrop with NOTHING happening. Uses the same amount of CPU.
I'm used to manual bug-checking, but this time I just couldn't find anything wrong, thought maybe the app was corrupt (?) in some way. But the reason was oh so much more devilish.
I bet you're using Vista. Or a bunch of anti-viruses

I have never had any issues with Windows Vista running things at an abnormally high percentage or even using much ram. Even my RAM, which everyone seems to think is one of Vista's biggest problems, always stays closely around 50% and rarely moves more then 15% more or less, especially after about 10 minutes.
This is set to high speed, while I'm casually using my computer (opening, closing, music, so on and so forth).
Lol, it doesn't count if you haven't been using the comp often enough. 90% of people I know who complain about having an abnormally slow computer, despite high specs are using Windows Vista. The same thing happened about half a decade ago with Windows XP. Windows always creates technology far ahead of the current technological curve. As they say, "Intel giveth, and Microsoft taketh away."

Really?! Even back when we had Pentium 3 systems I never had much a problem with XP. Pentium 2 took nicely to 98, ME, 2000 et al. Vista's the first one I've used that did grind my system. They're usually highly compatible (with required hardware) and run well, at least from my experience!
