Idling my computer uses 3% of my CPU and that's with Malwarebytes Antimalware and Steam running in the background but if I start Minecraft it gets bumped up to anywhere between 70 and the high 90s which really puts some strain on trying to do anything else while playing like listening to music or watching a movie.
Now, I do use a 32x32 texture pack and have pretty much everything on Minecraft at it's best with the exception of "Fancy" graphics but lowering things for better FPS doesn't do anything for my CPU. Admittedly I don't have Minecraft modded for any performance-enhancing because modding is still a pain in the tookus to get working and I have done the thing with java where you increase the amount of memory it stores or uses.
Is there anything I can do to fix this or is it just a pretty common thing?

Alright, well Because of the way Minecraft runs, It uses the CPU to process everything.
Open task manager, and go to the processes tab. Then, sort by CPU. If you;re running Minecraft, "Java.exe" should come up first. Right click it, and make it "Low Priority". This means that other programs will get priority over Minecraft, the downside is that sometimes will minecraft lag though.
