cpu usage

He is not imagining things, and it's not just his CPU.

I have 3G of memory, 64x 2 dual core processor with NVIDA chip set and grafix card. I use Opera web browser. Opera runs so much better than any other browser I have used. BUt if the game is left open for a long period of time, as is encouraged by the automatic training while standing in town, the CPU usage climbs higher and higher. Eventually I start freezing up. I have the minimum processes running in task manager to keep the PC going. Very healthy system with WebRoot secure anywhere anti virus/malware prtection.

Recently ran a profile of my PC using Belarc:
Hitachi HDT725040VLA SCSI Disk Device (400.09 GB) -- drive 0, s/n VFK301R3DL6P9K, SMART Status: Healthy 2944 Megabytes Usable Installed Memory

So I know for a fact, nothing is wrong with my PC and hardware.

This game will drag your PC down. LOnger it is open, worse it gets.

Normal running, with no browser open uses less then 750-850mb of memory, and 0-1% of the processor.
It will get over half the memory use and 60% of the processor with spikes to 90%

Every now and then I have to close browser, go to task manager, make sure it's really all the way gone, and then re-open. When I do it runs great again for some time. After hours of being open I have to repeat.
