re: Sys Idle Process - XP Sunday, November 18, 2001 at 5:26 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Bob Costas (9 messages posted) The system idle process isn't really a process. Its a measurement of how much processor time isn't being used. Thus, 100% (full usage) - 0%to 4% (services, drivers, mouse movement) = 95% to 99% idle time.
