V8.0 Steam version is a big CPU hog

Ever since version 8.0 (Steam) came out, my laptops been running MUCH hotter much more often when using Timelines. It also, seemingly at random, single-handedly spikes CPU usage to 90+%
My laptop is pretty new and packs a i7-9750H, so 90% of that is a pretty damn considerable amount of resources to be using.

try the resource monitor so you can tell which process is actually doing the usage ... ( or in taskmanager select the cpu time column in the details tab )
either start-run-resmon , or click the link in the performance tab of the task manager..
For what i can tell, i have a i7-6700k , and the steam and facebook-in-edge version uses roughly 5% of my cpu time
The windows store version is the one i am having issues with .. which runs between 25 -35% cpu usage all teh time, causing my blowers to act up abit ..
I have seen this both at v8 and before v8
Might be another process which is causing the high usage ... AV-scanner or a background update of another installed app ?
The Windows App is the same
~50% CPU all the time. I have i7 and sometimes it lags the whole computer.
I found the web (browser) version significantly lighter (though sometimes crashes with out of memory errors, because browsers limit the page resources)
This is the game running within a tab in front along with a lot of other stuff. So no room for comparison
When the tab is in background (not active) CPU usage drops to 1%, so apparently the game is not so CPU hungry, something with compiled "exe" (which is supposed to be faster)
