Why is my cpu gauge never below 32%?

[PunterCam]

Intel Core2quad 4gbddr3, windows 7 professional.

I haven't done any real study into this, I was just playing around with the widgets (or whatever they're called) and brought up the cpu performance one. It never drops below 32%. It's like it from the moment win7 boots. There are no obvious power sapping programs running in task manager. Hard drives are not churning away.

At a glance, and to use, the system appears perfect. If I hadn't read these numbers it wouldn't concern me - I wouldn't suspect anything to be wrong.

Just wondering if this is normal?

Cheers
