Crossover 10.1 CPU Usage OSX Lion

Hey guys,
After upgrading to Lion and installing Crossover 10.1 I have noticed crossover start using 100% of my CPU according to Activity Manager forcing my fans to kick on full blast. I am using a DVR Application, which was the same application I was using under snow leopard on crossover 10. I also recently purchased the new i5 macbook pro but don't think that is the cause of the problem.

You're using just a DVR application in Crossover? I've seen a couple of issues pertaining to CPU over-clocking with Crossover 10, but most of them are related to temporary internet files in the program's bottle. I'm not sure about the specifics of this program, but I'd try digging around for temporary internet files within the bottle, which is in

/(home)/Library/Application Support/CrossOver/Bottles/[bottlename]/

(hold down the "option" key while looking at the Finder's Go menu in Lion to see "Library"

and wipe out the contents of any temp internet folders you find.

Also, if this installation of the DVR app is a holdover from your earlier OS X 10.6 installation you might consider deleting the bottle and re-installing a fresh copy.

If you're still having issues, can you please file a support ticket so we can further track this issue?
