CrossOver - All games run explorer.exe process (and wineserver.exe) taking up lots of CPU - Is this normal?

I'm using a MacBook Pro M3 Max with CrossOver 25 Preview.

Whenever I launch any games using CrossOver, I see three processes in Activity Monitor:

<game> (Intel)
explorer.exe (Intel)
wineserver (Intel)

Is this normal?

explorer.exe and wineserver report 50% CPU each which doesn't seem right?

I never really looked at my activity monitor here's what I have going on:

Explorer: 0.0 %CPU
Wineserver: 22.5 %CPU
7 instances of B.Net! WTH? But only one is taking up CPU and it's at 18% CPU
then
Diablo IV.exe 37.5 %CPU

Doesn't seem to me like it's doing what it's doing for you. What game are you playing maybe I have it and we can compare apples to apples :)
