Parallels CPU usage?
Is the CPU usage expected to be reduced before the GA release? I'm seeing Parallels consuming a minimum of 30% CPU on my 2GHz MBP while running a WIndows XP Pro guest that is idle after a fresh install. I can live with that if I have to, but that seems to be quite a lot of overhead for an idle guest.

I'm going to try to find the time to try a couple of other guest operating systems to see if I see similar results, but if some other people could post what they're seeing I'd appreciate it.
