Maya using 100% cpu poer even if not in foreground

[slothuus]

Hi,

When I am minimzing Maya (or putting it in the background) in order to work with another app Maya is still using a lot of CPU power in the background even if without having an animation/simultation/rendering/... going on.

Is this normal or is caused by may grphics card (driver) - Elsa Gloria II (Quadro)??
I am running Maya 4 under W2k on an Athlon machine.

I have an Athlon TBird 900 (ovrclk'd), 768MB and QuadroDCC (W2k).

I have a 17MB .mb scene open and minimized, and the teskmanager is telling me that maya.exe is getting no clock cycles at all. zero.

you must have something actively "solving" or somesuch inside of Maya.

hmmm. intersting.
