As long as I have one single Node.js project open in VS, the CPU hits 100% and stays there for prolonged periods, making the complete Windows desktop unusable.
CPU usage will eventually drop to 50%-60 for some brief periods.
This can be reproduced by simply creating any of the Node.js projects, the CPU will immediately go up.
See the following screenshot with a freshly opened instance of VS and a blank Node.js project.

Using :
* Windows 7 Enterprise (64-bit)
* Node.js 0.10.36 (64-bit), official installer from Joyent
* Visual Studio Professional 2013 Update 4
* NOT using Resharper
* Intel i5-3440M 2.70GHz, 8GB memory, standard HDD
I can also provide any further logs or details that you might require.
Thanks,
Jaume
Comments: @jinglou I have reinstalled the plugin and it seems to be working a lot better just now. There is still a considerable level of CPU usage around 30-odd percent just to keep VS opened with a node solution. But at least, my desktop is fairly responsive and I can get work done. I'll keep you posted if I hit the 100% usage issue again. Please find attached my diagnostics Thanks, Jaume
