This bug was fixed in the package clutter-gtk - 1.8.4-2
---------------
clutter-gtk (1.8.4-2) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Daniel van Vugt ]
* Fix high CPU usage (particularly in Wayland sessions) when clutter redraws.
Hardware redraws of the clutter stage were unexpectedly triggering software
redraws of the backing window and its decorations. On _every_ frame.
This halves the CPU usage of totem and gnome-maps. (LP: #1698282)

Bug description:
Totem uses dramatically higher CPU than any other video player.
Example 1: software playback under Gnome Shell Wayland:
totem: 120% (but drops to 80% in Unity7)
mplayer: 40%
vlc: 40%
[all are using ffmpeg for decoding]
Example 2: hardware-accelerated playback under Gnome Shell Xorg:
totem: 11%
gst-play-1.0: 3%
[both are using gstreamer-vaapi for decoding]
Since the decoding libraries are theoretically the same it sounds like
totem's performance problems might be in its rendering path.
