Max cpu overload

Dg's icon

Hi,

Is there any reason to have Max taking more than 101,4% of the processor when it does nothing?
No DSP open, I just launch Max and activity monitor shows MaxMSP on the first line with 7 thread running.

Any help would be appreciated.

I think it updates it's database when you first start up. It should calm down in a minute or so.

Is not it the percentage of the user percentage? Rather than the total percentage?
