The way Macromedia has explained this is that Director projectors don't actually hog the cpu, they just eat up unused cycles. If I recall correctly, this is aimed to handle animation.
Yeah; I believe taking the framerate down can reduce it, as of course can unchecking "animate in background" but if you have processes that must be running, that's not such a hot plan of course. ;)
Also looking over the cpuHogTicks setting might be of value here.
