It's funny that you think I would think a tone is inferred.
Kidding!!!
I think I'm seeing the disconnect now. You saw my statement as a teaching moment. You wanted me to know that how often a CPU is pegged is not affected by it's speed. But you were only taking non-realtime operations into account. Perhaps you know that Kevin (in this instance) doesn't burn CD's, watch movies, or play video games.
However, I'm still maintaining that a faster CPU will be pegged less (duration, not frequency if I must spell it out, but it should go without saying since duration is what has the greatest affect on performance).
And since I was including realtime operations (since watching videos, playing video games, and burning CD's is something we all do, for the most part), how often you hit 100% (frequency, not duration) is also an important factor regarding CPU's.
But I do appreciate the explanations. I'm fairly certain we're on the same page.
