    this only happens when i am at speed mode. if i am at stamina mode the CPU usage when idle is 0%.

    why is it like that? how can i fix it? anybody has the same experience?

    I had that issue. was on the sz110 I think... Had two programs that ALWAYS run. try boot up into safe mode. I bet it gets better. I had to format (using sonys format) and then it cleared up.
