Well Sophie sitting running on my Powerbook 17inch takes 5.7% of the  
CPU to do not much, mostly polling for UI events.

Of that 45% is spent swirling about in the interpreter loop.

16% in lookupMethodInClass
10% in flushing screen updates to the quartz
6% in incremental GC and allocateHeaderSize.
1% in method addNewMethodToCache

However if you are running Squeak flat out, why it cheerfully will  
want *all* the CPU cycles and if you are doing screen updating
the carbon squeak app is setup to flush bytes to the screen via  
quartz quite fast so it will heat up any GPU you have too.
