OK that explains why after a few minutes, the usage goes back to zero.

Nope.....and I will probably switch back to OS 9 now permanently that 
I've had my fling.....this machine can boot into 9 but will not allow you 
to erase the HD and JUST have 9...which bothers me but what can I do? 6 
MB of HD space I can not afford to waste.
 
I have turned off software updates, QT updates, automatic connection to 
internet, Indexing and everything else that might cause the machine to 
work...and if I can't control IT, IT is not going to control me.....
