When you disable AGWPE and still see the high CPU usage, are you
running with any other interfaces turned on?  Internet interfaces?

Are you zoomed into western WA or out to U.S. or World level?

What OS is on there?

Do you have index new maps on startup turned on?  Is Xastir indexing
maps each time you start up and spending a bunch of CPU there?
