20031121: cpu usage by dcnexr2

Eric,

What version are you running?

In general, the process should be short lived- but bunzip isn't exactly cheap.
I have all 61+ sites comming in here and being decoded.

The CPU% output is dependent on what else you have coming in, eg, if
nothing else is being decoded, then virtually all cycles will go 
to that 1 process. But, if the decoder is hung, then
ot would use lots of CPU and the TIME would appear large.
