Aha that was it! Yes I was. When I switched to direct streaming CPU
utilisation dropped to ~0%, and when I then sent the stream to a
synchronised pair (forcing it to proxied streaming) it went back up to
~45% on a single virtual CPU.

It still seems odd that proxying an MP3 stream to 2 devices takes more
CPU than transcoding it from AAC+ to FLAC and streaming FLAC to 2
devices, but at least I know why it does that.
