Tips for reducing idle CPU usage?

$

I'm interested in seeing the %CPU use of an idle xbmc on other people's RPis. Here is a simple command that will look at the %CPU use of xbmc.bin once every 15 seconds for 1 min and log the output to a nice file.

Connect via ssh and look at the output of the following command:
Code:
for i in {1..4}; do ps -eo pcpu,args | sort -k 1 -r | head -2 | grep xbmc.bin>>xbmc_usage.log && sleep 15s; done && cat xbmc_usage.log

Please post the output of xbmc_usage.log to this thread. Note that xbmc should be running but not playing a video or having RSS feeds running.

Code:
% for i in {1..4}; do ps -eo pcpu,args | sort -k 1 -r | head -2 | grep xbmc.bin>>xbmc_usage.log && sleep 15s; done && cat xbmc_usage.log
50.7 /usr/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin
50.8 /usr/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin
49.7 /usr/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin
49.5 /usr/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin

I am running Arch ARM which is up-to-date running xbmc-rbp 12.2 I compiled myself since 12.1 is the current version in the repos.

Anyway, 50 % seems too high to me. Others? Any advice to lowing it? I have no screensaver and no RSS feeds.
