did you by chance upgrade your processor without reinstalling your OS?

 

An OS gets built @ install based on the processor, if you simply do a processor swap without reinstalling the OS you won't get the full benefit of the new system.

 

This is specifically true with jumping from a 32 to a 64 bit processor. The AMD 64 is built to be utillized by a 32 bit OS,

 

if this is your case and you reinstall your OS you see a jump in processor usage
