So I was in the Apple store earlier today checking out the new Macbook Pros and trying to figure out if I wanted a glossy or matte screen for college next year. Anyways I was playing around with both the black Macbook (2ghz) and new Macbook Pro (2.4ghz) and noticed that on the Macbook the 9min Ratatouille 720P preview in windowed mode in Quicktime only used a steady 55% of processor, but on the new Macbook Pro it used a minimum of 60%, usually higher. What gives?

I know 5% doesn't sound like much but I would have thought that the Macbook Pro would have been much less considering the faster processor. Anyone with either of those computers want to confirm the processor usage too as I only had a few minutes left in my lunch break and was rushed.
