[AccessD] VM machine CPU usage

U do much of my work in a VM which I call vmDev (development).  I have three cores assigned to the VM.

I started a process running creating a compressed index on another server (Azul) building an index 
in the DBFH.  The processor usage is hovering around 19-25 percent and yet if I look at the 
processes and their CPU usage, the idle task is at 99% all of the time.  I have "show processes from 
all users" checked.

What gives?

I closed down FireFox and the processor usage dropped to around 12%.  And yet FF did not show as 
using any processor cycles (1% occasionally).

I occasionally go into the task manager to check processor usage but never noticed this anomaly.
