Beta 3 CPU usage hovers at 6% with no apps running and the VM hidden in the background.
If you PAUSE the VM, the CPU usage drops to 2%.
Is there anyway that Parallels can PAUSE the VM if the application is hidden and no Windows applications are running? Maybe by a user option to PAUSE the VM when in the background? I know this is a personal prefence, by I'm running on a laptop and I want to to anything possible to maximize battery life. It probably wouldn't make any difference on a Desktop system, or even when the laptop is plugged in.
Please consider this.
