CGTalk - 100% CPU Usage

When I start Maya5 and without loading any scene, I just use ALT+Left Mouse to tumble or dolly in the perspective view and at the same time looking at the Windows XP Task Manager, the CPU usage is always near or at 100%. Is this normal or is this a bug that Alias should fix?

Normal, unless it's actually interupting other stuff.

Any time that the computer tries to get the best performance possible, CPU usage will hit 100%.

In this case, Maya is trying to get the most frames per second when drawing the scene (even if it's only drawing a grid). If there was a limiter that said Maya should never draw more than 30 fps (for example), CPU usage might be lower, because there is some left over when Maya finished its work.
