There are discussions of high CPU usage of the coreaudio process when
Soundflower runs into issues here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/23643199#23643199
Might want to try uninstalling it and see if that resolves the issue.
Seems that the tool has gone dormant with the last update to the open
source version being made August 2012.

Latest developer stuff sounds like some folks are still working on it:

Hi Alex,
The amount of Virtual memory sounds to be about normal. The CPU usage
is very high though for that. I’m guessing that the Mini just doesn’t
have the processing power and coupled with only 4 GB of RAM, you may
have found the culprit. If you have an external drive that you could
install Mavericks onto, and not bother with the SoundFlower stuff, it
would be your best method of testing things. There could be a small
lag due to the use of an external drive as your Startup drive, but
you’d be able to look at the Activity Monitor as well as note the
state of your VO speech.
Later…

Hi all,
I may have found the cause of my Mac's problems: the coreaudiod
process is taking 30 to 35 percent CPU, and over 2.5gb of virtual
memory (185mb of real memory). I have things piped through
Soundflower, but that shouldn't matter, should it? I can't kill the
process to see if that helps, of course, since I need speech. Any
ideas on how I might get it back to normal? Thanks.
Have a great day,
Alex (msg sent from Mac Mini)
