[Phillip Pi]

Is it me or does this look abnormal when using Compiz Fusion in KDE 
v3.5.9 while idled?

I am not using any special effects like snow, rain, etc. No videos, 
desktop screen savers, etc. Only GKreLLM should be animating visually. 
Is this normal for my CPU to be that high? My computer specifications 
can be found at http://alpha.zimage.com/~ant/antfarm/about/computers.txt 
(secondary/backup computer).

Thank you in advance. :)
