I'm also in the pulse-rt group, and have disabled all the multicast and
discovery options on my running pulseaudio.  When in use, pulseaudio
(and in this case last-exit, or last.fm) trade places taking up between
2 and 15% each on my 3ghz P4-HT system.  I don't have either
cpufrequency or powernowd support enabled (not supported).

pulseaudio is also taking a fairly large chunk of memory.

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND            
                  
 1527 mjohanss   9 -11 57744 7580 4416 S   12  0.2  39:14.48 pulseaudio      

I've also experienced this level of usage while padevchooser and gnome-
volume-manager were disabled (not running).  I don't have any open flash
applications, and from padevchooser  (before closing it) I confirmed
that last-exit was the only application with a Play stream.
