As ManiacJoe has indicator the CPU and RAM shwn in your screenshot is not unusual, espcially if there are more than a few and/or complex images (i.e. HDR or Pano).

 

If you're unsure that what you're seeing is not norma, then please provide details of your OS and hardware. This may be achieved by Opening Help> System Info and copy/pasting the contents of the window to your response.

 

 

1. Operating system (includes build number)

2. CPU type and speed

3.

Exporting is very CPU intensive. 92% is not unreasonable. However, you can use the Admin tools to lower the priority of the LR process, which will make the computer more responsive to other processes.

 

2 gig memory usage is not that unreasonable for exporting.

 

Which exact version of LR are you using?

What are the hardware specs of your computer?
