Yes it is but one I've hopefully just fixed, I've checked in a couple of 
changes yesterday that should reduce the CPU usage when idle down to 3% if 
that.

What freevo was doing was a poll of internal modules every 0.01 seconds ( 
or every 10 milliseconds if you prefer :-) ). This was to check for events, 
changes to the cache etc etc. I've now moved all of this to the kaa framework
which doesn't wake up every 10 millisecond all the time.

I'm running this on my main box at the moment to check for issues, and as 
its my main box any problems will get fixed asap or there'll be hell to 
pay :-)

Cheers

Adam
