I'm looking at Activity Monitor (because my Snow Leopard MacBook Pro 8,2 is running it's fan like crazy) and seeing the following:

AM is telling me, in the process list, that the SQL Developer process is taking 92.1% of the CPU (and the busy fan would seem to corroborate that measurement). However, if you look at the overall system CPU graphic at the bottom of the AM pane you can see that it's pretty flatlined and showing 86.58% free.

Am I missing something or is AM just confused/buggy? Anyone see this before?
