To those of you that may still be having this problem after upgrading to CentOS 
6.8, here is a solution that I have found.

1. Create a directory called /etc/gamin
2. Create a file /etc/gamin/gaminrc and place this inside:

fsset nfs none
fsset reiserfs none
fsset ext3 none
fsset mvfs none
fsset smbfs none
fsset cifs none
fsset autofs none

3. Save the file and kill the gam_server process.

The gam_sever process will respawn and you should see your CPU utilization drop.

I cannot take all of the credit here as I found this solution at:

 Well, my few more thoughts resulted in no real progress.
 gamin is supposed to respond to a config file which should cure this.
 Of course, the "official" statements are that it doesn't need a config
 because it "just works" all of the time.
 My unofficial experiments suggest that although the config file ( which
 does not exist in most installations ) may exist and is read, it seems
 to be ignored.
 That, or my syntax is wrong. The documentation ( what there is ) is
 incomplete, so offering no help.
