By "the main menu," do you mean Watch Recordings or the menu above
that (the real "main menu")?

In the main menu I don't see anything too unusual CPU-usagewise with
Graphite (a few percentage points for the subtle throbbing of the
highlighted menu entry), but I do see 25% usage at Watch Recordings
versus 0-2% for other themes on my Pentium 4 3.0GHz frontend.
