    Hi,

    I have a CentOS 5.2 VM, and since upgrading Parallels to build 5626, the CPU usage of that Parallels instance continuously hovers around 50% when the VM is idle. Conversely, the instance running my WinXP VM hovers around 5% when the VM is idle.
    I’ve googled the issue, and found a lot of posts talking about this happening to Windows VMs, but nothing about Linux.

    Is anyone else experiencing this and, if so, have you discovered a solution—right now, it’s rendering my computer somewhat unusable.

    Cheers,
    Jon
