I just read through this thread, but you may find that xscreensaver is the
cause.  I run Seti@Home, so pay attention to what is using how much of the
processor.  Normally, with the computer awake, Seti@Home gets 96-99% of the
processor.  With the X screen saver running and checking top from another
console, I would see that Seti@Home was getting 46-49% of the CPU while
xscreensaver took up the rest (and of course a little for top, etc.).

I killed the xscreensaver and just use power management to turn off the
monitor when idle - however that means I can't lock my screen either.

Cheers,

James
