I experience that beanstalkd uses a lot CPU cycles when the system is under 
high load. This, even when beanstalkd is not in use.

This simple test shows the issue in effect:
* beanstalkd v1.8 on an Amazon EC2 Large instance with Ubuntu Linux 12.04.2 
LTS.
* No jobs in beanstalkd
* Saturate the available CPU cycles with a couple of nice'd dummy 
processes, using:
    `nice -n 10 python -c "while True: x=2**10"&`

In this test beanstalkd (according to top) uses between 15% and 20% of the 
CPU cycles. As soon as the high load is stopped, beanstalkd goes back to 
nearly ~0% CPU.

This observed behaviour is quite unfortunate. So what is happening, and is 
it expected behaviour?
