It is not unreasonable to expect CPU be maxed out while computer is switched on. If you don't use it why do you keep it on anyway?
It was a big disappointment for me to find out that my new Unibody MacBook Pro whines like a rack server even with a slight load of way below 100% on one core. Meanwhile my old MBP was barely noticeable with 100% on one core until the fans got a bit worn out.
