Hi there!
Please check whether your web app is registered with Cassini with "Keep application in memory" checkbox checked. If so, please uncheck it and see if that helps. When checked, it makes Cassini send a request to the default document on a regular basis to keep application in memory. If by chance your default page executes heavy logic, you may see 99%.
Other than that, any ASP.NET application running under Cassini may cause high CPU utilization, depending wjat it does. Cassini on its own is very unlikely to cause the issue. You may test that by unregistering all applications and see if accessing Cassini Explorer causes the same CPU usage. If not, it's more likely that app itself causes the problem.
Please let us know what you found.
Best regards,
