How much heavy CPU loading during Memtest86 running?
We don't measure CPU load, as it isn't that important while testing RAM.
The load with depend on the settings used in MemTest86. In particular the single threaded / multi-threaded option. There RAM / CPU performance ratio will also determine the load. As will the availability of hyper-threading.
RAM is generally slower than the CPU, so for most CPUs the load will be less than 100%. For very slow CPUs with fast RAM you might get near 100% on some tests. We haven't really measured it.
