Yes, I did. :-)

I have a system that sends out messages and store some information in a DB
to keep track of messages that has been sent. In case of a server crash,
the system needs to know where it left off, thus the need for commits often.
Basically, I was testing the average sustained rate of insertion for FB.

But I didn't expect the processor usage to linger even after the operation
though.
I thought once commit has been performed, there aren't any more significant
cpu-intensive operations to perform?

Well, I think it goes up till 144Mb, according to Windows Task Manager.
This on a machine with 384Mb RAM.
