I've never seen that problem occur except during development sessions when
a CGI process ran rampant from an infinite while-loop or something similar.
 However, since I have dual-processors, I never really notice CPU usage as
Xitami only utilizes one processor...leaving me the other one to do other
things like compile applications, etc.

If Xitami is running as an NT service, you have to kill it from the service
manager or a command prompt using the 'net stop' command.  Task manager can
only kill processes owned by your user...you can't kill "SYSTEM"-owned
processes directly.

Hope this helps!
