Is it normal behavior for CPU to go above the base clock speed when you are just simply...moving the mouse around?
If you take a look at this, frequency graph more precisely, will notice the first few several spikes, those are probably the background processes only, and they do not go above the base clock.
Take a look at the spikes after that, that is caused by my moving the mouse around. Almost 3 GHz to move a mouse pointer?
Is this normal behavior?
I have tried to disconnect the mouse from the USB hub, and plug it directly into the Mac. There is no difference.
EDIT: Tried one more thing, to disable "Shake mouse pointer to locate", thought there might be a function that monitors the mouse pointer, and is maybe taking this much CPU. No effect, same behavior.
