opening a big book = very high cpu ?
I am curious as to why opening any very big book in sigil such as an omnibus edition - anything with 1500+ pages, will interfere with cause my CPU fan to kick in - indicating v high cpu usage. I can't think of any other non-gaming application that causes that, not even a DVD rip or video conversion - so what is going on within sigil that needs such CPU power ?

CPU fan will go on + my mouse movement becomes erratic, then just as I'm thinking "we're gonna crash any second", the sigil window will appear & we are back to normal...

I am using a fast dual core cpu so sigil must be temporarily monopolising both cores ?

could it be a side effect of the tidy - check/clean book when opening setting ?
