In certain documents (the example I discoverd this in was a
20+ page document with a few drawing canvases), use of
Thumbnail view drives utilization well over 90%+ even when
doing nothing else.

In fact, even if you change to view a different
application, utilization remains well over 70%+ on my system.

I'm using Office 2003 SP1 on Windows XP SP2 on a Dell
Inspiron 600m (Penium M 1.3Ghz, 512 megs RAM).

Is this the right place to note bugs or is there another
channel?

This is a good place to start. :-)

I've tried duplicating this on my computer and don't see the same
behavior so first you should rule out the possibility of minor
corruption in your document.

- Create a new document
- Go to Insert/File
- Insert the contents of the document exhibiting the behavior

Do you encounter the same result on the new document?
