Yeah it is, already checked top from my desktop. Also it's consistent with switching XBMC to full screen and back.

It is an opengl issue. There are other threads that cover the same issue. I see it as well (1 core maxed when idle).

Am not seeing this on my system, one difference I am noting is the NVIDIA driver. the official Ubuntu driver is older, in fact NVIDIA will not support it if you ask questions in their forum as they want you on the latest driver. I installed the latest using ENVY and it was a smooth hands-off install. You might want to try that to see if it helps as well. Check to make sure Vsync is on too as that has been mentioned in the past and also reduced my CPU usage at idle.

OK well when I get a chance (some time in the next couple of days) I'll profile with the current drivers, post a zip link here and then see if the latest drivers from nVidia's site fix it.
Cheers

That's the current supported driver on Gutsy, but yes the latest does fix it.
Unfortunately it also screws up my HD output, despite nvidia-settings and xvidtune seeming to think I'm outputting 720p, my projector is receiving 1080/60i, which makes for horrible fuzzy text as it's being scaled twice :/

Heh, good was starting to wonder why I wasn't seeing the same issue on my system! As for the resolution, the later drivers seem to respond to EDID differently and to some of the NVIDIA commands as well. It's possible that you need to remove some stuff or tweak the xorg.conf a bit for these drivers. I only updated mine because I was having fits trying to get my VIZIO panel working and the NVIDIA guys have a sticky pretty much insisting you use the latest drivers before asking for help. ENVY was a godsend!
