With debugging enabled, once the library update has run there is nothing untoward being reported in the log. It is the xbmc-bin process at 100% The strange thing is when xbmc is doing anything the reading comes down, eg whilst doing the startup scan, it is whilst it is idle that the one core goes to 100%. wtf. Can the reading have been inversed somehow?
Is it normal, if not any ideas what to check?

XBMC, due to a quirk of it's beginnings, often uses higher CPU cycles when idle. Search the forum or Wiki for Dirty Regions and you'll find how to reduce that by adding a couple of lines to advancedsettings.xml

Ah okay - explains the library missing items issue. Check the thread I linked for the real issue

QLock is nothing to worry about - unfortunately if you've disabled it a recent update re-enables it, It applies more to Transparancy skin - you can disable or uninstall under Addons - Skins I think it was

Well, the pvr error is gone, and that was jamming up CPU usage. Can you turn your NAS on (if that's why it can't find those directories) as we're just getting clutter and not the full log.
Also, the advancedsettings.xml file has some odd entries in it (see where I mean? the strange numbers) so I can't be sure it's using the dirtyregions settings. Might want to fix that up.
Do that and then check your CPU usage. If still high re-post the log - it'll be cleaner and we might get the whole thing. Note that on a Celeron processor I would expect fairly high CPU usage at idle anyways, just not very gutsy, but at idle it doesn't matter much.
