Starcraft sends idle commands constantly. So on a dual CPU machine it generally uses 50%. On a single CPU machine it uses 100%.

This is true even on Windows.
 
k so its normal then, cuz i was afraid that its normal for the macbook's cpu usage to go up so high n the fan going so loud too. :eek::eek::(

thanks :)
