My System Spec is very close (same cpu / mem / HD) but I'm using pcHDTV card
and nvidia 5200.

Prior to a week ago I was running .19 w/ the x86 Kernel and never used more
then 50% cpu system wide when watching 1080i.  Then I rebuilt the machine w/
a 64 kernel and moved to FC6 and moved to .20 and I am getting the same CPU
issues you are having.

My workaround right now is that I am watching in 480p and not 1080i.  What
resolutions do you see this problem in?
