Default Pegged HD Engine on Activity Monitor

Hello,

I can't believe it's normal for Pro Tools Activity Monitor to show the HD Engine Pegged at 100% (and red!) from the time the software launch completes. Before I even have a session open, the HD Engine is just hammered. If this isn't normal, do you have any idea what might be causing it to happen?

Thanks in advance.

Current Setup:
Pro Tools HD 7.4.2 (HD3 Accel)
ICON D-Command 24
Digi XMON
Digi SYNC HD (linked to Apogee Big Ben)
(2) 192 I/O
Surround Panner

Mac Pro OS X 10.5.5
(Dual) Quad-Core Intel Xeon 3GHz
16 GB RAM

It's normal - it's showing that the chip is entirely used by the HD Engine. It's not an 'activity' per se - it's just showing chip usage.
