CPU utilization decreases to 2-3% value on each core some time after running PC GAMESS. This is the moment of  UHF SCF calculation, after 1- and 2-electron integrals estimation. Is this normal?

My command line:

pcgamess.exe -i input -o test.out E:\work0 E:\work1 E:\work2 E:\work3 -np 4gm 160000000
