CPU problems with ZBrush

Hey everyone, so I’ve had some trouble as far as ZBrush performance lately. The denser my model gets, the slower ZBrush runs, obviously, but when I’m zooming in or rendering my sculpts my CPU usage skyrockets and really starts to lag. The densest model I’ve ever worked with has only been about 10 million polys with a total of maybe 10 subtools.

My computer specs:

CPU: AMD 6300fx cpu 6 core
RAM: 2GB (x3) of DDR-3 Corsair RAM
Motherboard: Bio Star TA970 mobo
GPU: Radeon GD 6770

All my drivers are up to date. Is this a common occurrence? Is there something I can do in order to make ZBrush run more smoothly? Is it possible my hardware sucks?

Here’s a screenshot of my “Task Manager”;
