Hmmmmmmmmm not really sure what your getting at, but let's see if I am on the right track.
I play an online game (Return To Castle Wolfenstein). On my old computer (1g cpu) the game ran, but was a bit sluggish. On my new computer (3g cpu) the game runs, but it runs at a much steadier frame rate and never bogs down on me. So yes, I would say that a process may be able to run with less cpu, but most will run better with more cpu pushing them.
Does this help? _________________ "Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience".
