Question on CPU usage %

I have a system with an Intel Celeron 330 CPU @ 2.66 gHz.
I have a gig or ram.
Many times when I run some single apps, or even multiple apps, the
system crawls. When I check out the CPU % Usage it is generally less
then 25% and if I check out the Processes, usually the one using the
most is System Idle Process.

Anyone know what is the deal with this?

Thanks
