After the installation the Task manager schows low CPU usage ( &lt; 10%) and ESXi host shows also low CPU usage.<br /> <p /> After that I installed MS SQL Server 2005 with SP3 on this VM and after I started the SQL Server the CPU usage in Task manager shows low usage ( &lt; 15 %) but the ESXi host shows a CPU usage above 80%. When I stop the SQL Server service the CPU usage on the ESXi host is back to normal, which is similar to the Task Manager usage.<br /> <p /> Is there an explanation for this behaviour?
