In your log indicates, that you are only playing mpeg-2 files. Those files are not XVBA accelerated, so cpu usage could be a bit high.
Recheck that "Vertical Blank Sync" is set to Always enabled in System -> Settings -> Video Hardware. Also disable the RSS Feed for testing.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Could you just for fun disable the common.cache service script? (this is a long shot)

@beschmid:
For the playback numbers - I would nearly say that a higher load is normal, as those streams seem to be mpeg-2 which is done purely on the CPU. The 100% peaks make me wonder. If you can reinstall fglrx by purging the old installation you had before. I have seen so many issues with this drivver, that this shot is shorter than Martijn's :-)

@fritsch: Updated to RC2, and then purged fglrx-legacy and then re-installed. The CPU usage is still at 100% on one of the cores during idle. The cpu does drop to a normal range if I am playing a video. So this seems to be an idle CPU issue. Any suggestions?

Bugger. Tried the "Optional: workaround for suspend resume". No luck though.
Have abandoned hibernate for now and just shutting down instead, just not worth the hassle for the moment.
Still strange this started happening though given I didn't have any issues like this under Eden or before Frodo RC1. Maybe an Ubuntu update broke something...

@FernetMenta: I set the dirty regions as specified in your post, deleted addons, and deleted the LCD lines in my advancedsettings.xml. The dirty regions didn't seem to effect it but deleting the addons did. I have no idea which addon was causing high CPU as I have not re-installed all the addons yet and I am installing them one by one to check for changes. I did not change the skin to Confluence as deleting the addons seemed to solve the problem so I am still running Aeon Nox. It could have also been the LCD code in the advancedsettings.xml as I changed the file and deleted the addons during the same session :/
@auszig: the high cpu is consistent for me whether I suspend/resume or cold boot. You might try backing up addons, deleting all non stock addons, reboot, and see if anything improves. As with you, I also started having this problem after upgrading to RC1.
