High CPU Usage when using Text to Vector Graphic

I am enjoying the generated images, they respond well to my pen and ink style guidelines, the colors are nice, but my big expensive alienware just died while running text to image.      I tried it on another machine while running task manager and the text to vector image process uses 100 percent of possible CPU capacity.       Makes a laptop hot.        I want to keep using this text to image feature but I will run Illustrator under BES and restrict the CPU usage to 50 percent max in the future.      I don't want to risk another machine.        Maybe a concidence?       The alienware didn't die just sitting idle.
