If i move to another recording that is already done the CPU usage goes back to normal. Why is this happening? I'm running latest 0.24 trunk.

I used to see this too. I think I decided that it was caused by the little animated graphics that show the recording is in progress!

I've not seen it lately, but I've switched themes and probably moved along a few versions in the 0.24-fixes branch. 

It might be worth trying a different theme and see if the problem goes away. If it does then maybe try asking the theme author about it.
