The "idle process" is the percentage of the CPU which is not used...
If your idle process is 100%, then your CPU does not do anything.
(Beside some rumours about secret MS functions hidden in the "idle process")

I?m experiencing some lag in XSI when modeling due to what seems to be the System Idle Process soaking up cpu cycles. Running 64bit xsi on 64bit xp, with dual, dual core amd processors. My system idle process will skyrocket up to 89-99% and that is when the lag occurs in the viewport in XSI. I?m not sure if the two are related whatsoever, hence the reason I?m asking here. I searched microsoft.com for the system idle process but turning up nothing thus far. Anyone able to toss me a clue? Thanks
