Why my CPU usage goes to 100%, when I open Borland IDE TC++ in Windows® XP SP-2?

When I open TC++, the PC suddenly goes slow; that even we cannot type or move the cursor fast. The cursor moves to the destination after about 400-500 ms. It is so incovenient to use and takes about 10 mins to write and compile a small program of 30 lines!!

* Why this occurs in Windows® XP SP-2 only, and not in Windows® 98 SE?

* Is there any solution for this?

Thank you!

p.s. This problem occurs only in my P III 866 MHz PC and a friend's P4 1.7 GHz PC. And for my dad's AMD Athlon XP 2400+, CPU usage only goes upto 40-50%. This thing makes me more confused!!
