Mythbuntu 9.10, Intel Atom 1.6GHz, NVIDIA Ion, using VDPAU and OpenGL painter with the mythbuntu theme. CPU usage for mythfrontend jumps around but averages about 6%. This is in line with my previous system, also Atom based but with Intel video, running 0.21, which used a similar amount of CPU. So I'd say mine's "normal".

I have occasionally had it where I select a video to play, and get a 'Please Wait' screen, followed by a frontend hang. Mythfrontend is using 25% CPU when that happens. Don't know if it's related to your issue but thought I'd mention it.
