While using Turbo Pascal V7 I have noticed that the processor usage shoots up to 100% while I am typing in the source code and then drops back to almost nothing when I stop. Anyone any idea why this should be?

When I paste, let's say 50K into a DOS editor it can take several minutes; but if I paste into notepad it's done in the twinkling of an eye.
My usage was in the high 90s all during the paste.
Seems like it has to do with the way w2k and a DOS app talk to each other. Or fail to talk to each other, as the case may be.
