Not quite what I expected to see but that makes it more fun.
I need to look at the "mouse" utilisation in more detail because it's strangely user-mode, but in the meantime I've got a few questions for you:
1) It's possible that the periodic spike in Explorer.exe utilisation - the one you see even if you don't move the mouse - is linked to some sort of animated wallpaper or similar change that occurs very close to once every 10 seconds on your machine. Can you think of any reason why the majority of time during those spikes would be spent in JPG-related WindowsCodecs.dll functions?
2) What's RMclock.exe and why are you putting up with it chewing around 5% processor almost constantly?
3) Does the mouse-related processor weirdness (which is definitely not normal BTW) also happen if you boot the box to safe mode?
I might ask you to do another xperf run with slightly different settings, depending on your answers to some of the questions above. Thanks for experiencing an interesing problem
