It takes work to create a new task in Windows. That busies up the processor between the time you tell it to do that and the time the new window pops up. That's perfectly normal.
With the task manager>performance under cpu usage history i just noticed that when i start a new tab it goes all the way up for a short time from a very low starting point then it goes way back down again.If i bring on a website on the new tab it also goes way up but stays there a little longer till the page fully loads then comes back down.Is this behavior normal or is something wrong?
