Hello everyone,
In your experience, what is system idle process doing? In my experience, this means system is (CPU is waiting for) doing some I/O,
1. like hard page fault;
2. waiting for information from network.
Are there any other cases which will cause system idle process happen and consume a non-neglitible percentage of CPU?
thanks in advance,

I don't have any proof about how windows "idle process" works, but I bet it would be doing os tasks such as scheduling or monitoring events and such - just a guess.
Thanks mac11,
It is appreciated if you could share any formal documents if you had found any. :-)

I don't want to know what the CPU utilization is right now. I want to
get the average utilization over the last, for example, hour. So I
came up with a method where I would get a Process object representing
the "Idle" process. I would figure out what percentage of time the
idle process has been running since my function last was called. Then
the average CPU utilization would be 100 - average idle percentage. I
figure out the average idle...

I am writing an application that could really benefit from knowing
this information. During 'idle' time, I could do some of the slightly
heavier processing; during the 'working' time, I would display the
non-intrusive notifications that I don't want my customer to miss.
I see that I can apparently set the thread priority of my background...

I am using a performance counter to record the "Elapsed (CPU) time" of
the "Idle" process. I record the elapsed time, wait 1 second and then
record the new elapsed time. The result I get is:
before: 175437046.875
after: 175438093.75
CPU time used: 1046.875
However I was running Prime95 at the same time and I obtained the
