Main Fan Turn On(tm)

[garote]

So I finally maxed out the CPUs on my Macbook Pro without deliberately trying. It happened this evening, while I was doing the following all at once:

• Chatting via iChat
• Reading email
• 4 downloads at 250kB/sec each
• Browsing the web in six tabs
• Converting losslessly compressed CDs between formats over the network
• Installing Windows XP SP2 in an emulator on a dynamically-sized partition from an image of the install CDROM
• A 46-gigabyte file copy over the network, via Windows filesharing
• Locating pictures in an archive of over 14,000 in Aperture, and exporting them in groups.

Well bust my buttons; I guess this makes me a "power user". :D
