Because in a client/server environment like Oracle, the server does a great deal of processing. On a Netware box this is reflected in the Server Utilization statistic. Normally, Netware is a fairly passive-type system which just serves up files and handles printing for the LAN, but when you add an active processing application like Oracle (or Legato Networker or even Btrieve) you are going to increase the workload of the server's processor.

It's a normal state of affairs for the most part. There isn't much to be done.
