i tried on a quad core machine it gets to 30 percent cpu usage too. i guess the runserver is not very effective ? i am doing any big thing .. just started to learn django here.

any thoughts what might cause this?

thanks

I started using Aptana (eclipse) on my mac for django development and had all kinds of problems with configuring it and slow running. Switched to PyCharm and my problems went away. Not a solution for everyone but worked for me.
