If your server is a Xen instance, then this could explain the high CPU usage.
Several people have mentioned high CPU usage to me when running tinc in a
virtual machine. I suspect it is caused by lots of context switches between the
VM running tinc and the hyervisor sending/receiving packets on the real
network interface. I don't know what you can do to improve it.
