Starting a process requires considerable CPU usage and Process Explorer is no exception. I see the same with Task Manager, Process Explorer, and other utilities. This is normal and to be expected.
The "System Idle Process" isn't a real process. In practical terms it is just the amount of CPU time not being used by processes. Higher numbers are better. What you are seeing is completely normal.
