What CPU/how many cores do you have? If you have even a half-way modern CPU, 50% to 80% usage is a MASSIVE amount of computational power being used. On my computer (Phenom II, 4 cores running at 2.6 GHz) normal background level of CPU usage while running several "low-demand" programs (web browser, word processor, etc) is around 2 or 3 percent utilization. Playing a full-screen DVD-resolution Divx takes up only around 2 to 4 percent. If you aren't running some sort of media-encoding software and something it typing up 50% to 80% of your CPU, something is seriously wrong.
