Mariusz, which hardware, pixel format and size are you talking about?
Also clarify are you talking about 100% cpu during recording or when there
is no motion at all (idle)?
So far there is the only bottleneck - JPEG decode/encode using ARM device
(same setup 60% cpu compared to 15% cpu with YUV format)

I am running it on a BananaPi, Raspbian 7 (wheezy), I set the frame rate to
1f/s, it consumes only 16% of CPU.

I'm running motion on a Ordoid C1+, twice as fast as a rasp PI2, and using the
same as a set top
box to run Kodi.
What I would like is to find a way of only recording events that take more than
say 5 secs,
I get loads of .avi files that are 20-30 KB that show nothing, where there is
real movement
captured they are always longer than 50KB in length.
Its events like the low winter sun shining thru a tree and the branches moving
in the wind.
A spider filter would be a big advantage , they are a ****** PITA

Richard, try tuning a param called minimum_motion_frames
