You need to examine the skins you have loaded, and find out which one (it's usually just one) is causing the increased load, then we can figure out how to fix it.

Make sure your updates isn't set too frequently for your skins.

Probably a newer one if you just noticed the increase.

What version of Vista Rainbar are you using?

Also, can you right click on Rainmeter -> Edit Settings. Then copy the stuff and post here between tags.

Start closing skins one at a time and waiting a minute between, watch the cpu usage and see which skin was the one you closed before cpu usage dropped. Re-open the skin and see if cpu usage goes back up.
