I remember one of the worst programs ever was from SAGE and it was called "Linha50". Originaly for MS-DOS, they converted it to Windows. The wait for a key on each field pushed the cpu to 100% because it was checking if there was any key being pressed.

Result, when "idle", the cpu was at 100%. Just imagine this.
