Just since I'm not sure I want to file another bug against something that may be in a library function or system call, I'll note here that mythfrontend and mythbackend processes (from MythTV) were also running hot on a machine I use as a DVR. Those processes are more heavily multi-threaded, so they showed well over 100% CPU usage.
