Running yum update for a new Fedora install under VMWare and snarfing my daily podcast fix via iTunes.
That's more than enough to turn a 2.6GHz Pentium 4 into jelly.
Just on that subject, is iTunes a complete and utter cow on MacOS too, or does that version actually work? Grabbing 100% of the CPU simply to download a file (at, I might add, an effective speed of 128kbps) seems a bit much.
Hrrm. I have a 7.02 update to apply. Bet you twenty cents it doesn't help.

That really doesn't sound right. I just asked Brian Tiemann about it, and he responded:
"I just did four simultaneous video podcast downloads in
iTunes 7.0.2 on a Sempron 1.6 GHz with 768 MB of RAM, and the CPU usage never averaged more than about 18%. Sounds like your friend's got something unusual happening, though I couldn't guess what at this point."
