Finder, BBEdit, Keyboard Maestro are currently all close to 0% But I never see LC using less than 4.3% with no user stacks open, no palettes, no plugins, no scripts, just the IDE. 

I just checked again with LC 9.6.1, because the last time I looked was with a previous version. 
With no open stacks of my own and only the Application Browser open, it hovers around 2%. When 
I closed the App Browser, it dropped to about 1.5% and then hovered in the 1.5-2.0 range. While 
writing this email it jumped to 3.5% momentarily, then dropped back to 2.5%.

I'm still on Mojave if that matters. I'm fairly sure the IDE is sending some pending messages 
in the background which would account for the CPU usage.
