Unless of course, the additional 90% is the brain equivalent of 'dark matter'? Hmm...

Keep in mind that a computer fails when it's hard drive reaches 100% capacity. The fastest your computer will ever run, is when only the operating system is loaded...perhaps brains need large amounts of capacity to operate effectively and efficiently. If our brain even falters (lower functions), we die. Also, we really don't know how memory is stored and what does the processing...so perhaps 10% is optimum?!
