My wife's HP laptop had some software that monitored the "audio mute" key so it could turn the associated LED on and off. That herculean task required a constant 50% of the CPU.

- sliverstorm 13y agoYeah but just think about how quickly they were able to release the software, by using 50% of the CPU. Isn't that what really matters? :)
