Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-applets

The music applet uses large amounts of CPU when rhythmbox is playing.

Usually (although not always) the music applet will be using between 30
and 70% of a CPU when all it is (apparently) doing is updating a string
every second. This is much, much more than rhythmbox which is actually
playing the music.

For example, a line from top:
  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND            
 7143 robin     20   0  339m  38m  13m S   40  1.9 116:40.65 python             

(this process is:
 7143 ?        S    117:15 python /usr/lib/gnome-applets/music-applet 
--oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_Music_Applet_Factory --oaf-ior-fd=21
)
