Zoomquilt 2 (2007)
It uses 17-25% CPU with Chrome, 4k fullscreen, 60fps and I use a Dell XPS laptop.

that's tons since for windows 100% is all virtual cores utilized. If the machine is 4 cores/8 threads - that's one full core.

Big deal. That's literally why you've got 3 more cores.

With that logic, you can never run more than 4 applications at once. The point is that for what it does, it shouldn't even be close to utilizing a full CPU core on a modern machine.

Well, for that matter, for what it does, it shouldn't even exist.

Huge deal not everyone is running 4 cores.

Core i5 first generation came out in 2009 with 4 cores:

Even with the 3 extra cores for most laptops it means thermal (or power) throttle and likely high memory and cache pressure.
