window manager problem on dual processor macs

Hi,

I am experiencing a problem with one of my apps which I just can't find an answer to, maybe some of you know what might be going on.

I have an app that runs a timer every 15 seconds, looks for changes and then put the output into an NSTextField that is in a borderless window that has [NSColor clearColor] set as the background color, so basically I have floating text over the desktop with no visible window. now my problem is that the app runs flawlessly and consumes only 0.1% CPU time at best, and is working great. but I started to receive emails from users with dual processor macs (and only from them) who claim that when my app runs the process viewer states that the window manager is using 160%(!) of CPU time and that the whole system blocks down. I just can't find the problem, and don't understand why it is okay on single processor macs, but not on dual processor ones.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Ben
