I've seen high CPU in these conditions:


  Running Festival.

  Problems with network interfaces and Xastir retrying the connects.

  Zoomed out at U.S.-level or World-level.  Dead-Reckoning turned on.
  Hand-tweaked config file so that dead-reckoning ran every second.


What OS are you seeing this on, and is the problem contained to one
or more of the situations I described?

Separate issue, or are you talking about making it more CPU-friendly?
