It's not very significant. It means that BD wasn't yet finished the  
cache that's used for spotlight searches, that's all.

I can't say whether that's good or bad, it depends on what it's doing.  
There are a few legitimate processes that may be using (significant)  
CPU power in the background, such as file content searches and  
spotlight metadata generation.

When this happens again, you could take a sample (launch Activity  
Monitor, select BibDesk, and choose View > Sample Process, save it,  
and send it off-list to Adam Maxwell or me).
