Hey there. I noticed the Google toolbar running a process called
something like GoogleFah or something a while back. Either this process
or the one directly under it (in alphabetical order) was absolutely
chewing thru my CPU (3GHz P4) cycles as well - about 50% of available.
I only found it because a mmorpg I play was being interrupted and I went
looking for the cause. I started cancelling the process whenever I play
my game. I wondered if it wasn't the shared-network project they do
with the cancer research? I did have it set pretty high. Normally,
it's not a problem as my CPU is plenty beefy enough to handle that and
normal everyday operations. However, anything taxing like a big game
and it has to be killed. Hope that helps!
