That does sound high. CPU usage at the moment is a bit on the high side, but much of the problem is that it seems to depend a lot on the environment -- it appears that it can be fine on some (even quite low spec) hardware but relatively rather worse on other hardware with different video drivers, etc. In that respect it's significantly less predictable (and therefore worse) than 1.7.x. There is some way to go on improving this stuff, particularly with regard to how refreshes are handled. Try adjusting the "graphics mode" setting in the first page of the configuration dialog; if that doesn't make any difference, try (experimentally -- not really recommended for normal use) switching off the "use Thorn mode" toggle in the presentation tab. If either of these makes a significant difference, it would be interesting to know about it. Note that both require the application to be restarted after any change.
