It's NOT normal for WLM to use that much CPU on a continual basis.
Are you seeing a lot of disk activity at the same time?
What kind of mail accounts do you have? POP3, IMAP and/or HTTP?
How often is WLM set to check mail (Tools, Options, General)?
Is your anti-virus program set to scan e-mail?
You don't mention whether you are running Windows XP or Vista.
Increasing the amount of disk space won't improve performance. And if
other things run fine with WLM closed, you probably don't need a
processor upgrade.
