Natural Selection uses extreme amounts of CPU due to the extremely high entity counts used. These are MUCH higher than any of the other mods, and this is also in addition to the entities created by gameplay, something other mods don't do.
To help lower lag, stick to maps: nancy/eclipse/nothing as they have significantly lower entity counts than that of hera/tanith/bast. There is a 40% decrease in CPU use when using the win32 server, yes, this is quite true. Flayra is working on lowering this as much as possible, and since 1.0 (we're now testing 1.03b) cpu use has dropped considerably. Just stick around and with time flayra will find more ways to continue to lower cpu use.
