That makes perfect sense.  It does take some CPU power to start and stop
the CD audio, but none to actually play it.  It also takes some time for
the seeking and such.

The DOS version only had spooling audio, so the CPU usage should have
been fairly consistent across the board.  Again it might slow down
during the seeking.
