SL on some computer systems just uses a lot of the CPU.....up to 100%. I really don't know why that is exactly, but I'm sure it's in the setup of the system. I've had four computers that I've used SL on and one I've been associated with (a friends computer) and only one showed that "problem"..........an old Pentium D 1.5 gig. It regularly ran 100% when SL was running. The other four, including this computer, run about 25% CPU usage with SL.
I tend to run my operating systems with very little "extras" or add ons. Lean and clean if you will.  You might check for background programs that are unnecessary.........a lot of the OEM systems start up needless programs when you boot (commonly called bloatware). You can safely shut down most of that. That may help your problem with SL.....but it will help your computer run more efficiently.80% is not really that bad........most people with excessive CPU usage report near 100%. |
