I agree... I think we are both lost... 8-)
Ok... on my system (kludge) I used VNCVIEWER.EXE and IE5.5 Browser to
connect to a computer called labxprt.
labxprt's cpu utilization went to 100% when I opened notepad and placed the
mouse cursor over some text. (I had Task Manager running) I then ALT-Tabbed
to a DOS box on kludge and killed the session via pskill. I then
reconnected to labxprt. The cursor on labxprt was still in the same
position but the CPU utilization had dropped to normal. I then disconnected
normally.
confusion over?

Eh? I'm confused. I thought you said the WinVNC server was using 100% of
the CPU cycles. Is this not what you were saying?
Cheers,
