100 CPU when unsaved. BUG!

When I don't save my scratch project regularly and work on it, it starts using 100 CPU and really slows my computer down. When I save it, the problem goes away. I am using Windows Vista.

It's because it's using that much CPU  tongue

Hm... I'm not sure why Scratch would be pegging your CPU like that. Since your usage goes back to normal once you save, it sounds like it is, but have you made sure it's Scratch that is causing this problem?

I tried turning Aero off and closing programs, but it CPU usage never went down until I saved scratch.

[EDIT]
The project is about 1.5 megs, is it the size of the project?

1.5 megabytes isn't that much. It could be that Scratch is getting stuck in some loop somewhere until you save. Have you tried a quick reinstall to maybe iron out any kinks in the VM?
