I think you are referring to the 'System Idle Process' in Win OS, which in the case of my Vaio typically takes up 90% of CPU capacity. Others who are supposed to know about these things say this indicates that 90% of CPU capacity is available for other applications. My own experience is that SIP voraciously consumes resources and actively blocks more useful work being done. In my VAIO, SIP thrashes the HDD mercilessly and only allows access to the laptop when SIP drops back to between 0% and 10%. Looks like the OS places a much higher priority on SIP than anything else. I've also found that formatting the HDD and starting again with a fresh install reduces the problem significantly, but SIP will eventually take over your life again. I have Norton Anti Virus running at all times for protection, so this is not a virus problem. Temporarily disabling Norton does not prevent SIP from taking over either.
