I found that the throbbing default buttons in Mac OS X would really hog the CPU. The screen just sitting there in idle with a throbbing button was all it took to use up an amazing amount of CPU. Seems like a lame "feature".
While it's true that Apple's compositing wastes a great many clock cycles for minor incremental aesthetic enhancements, and it's painfully true that the limitations of their APIs requires developers of tools like Rev and SC to jump through some pretty big hoops to allow their developers to have default buttons rendered reliable against even non-Apple-sanctioned-stripes backgrounds, the actual CPU time Rev takes up to deal with all of Apple's nonsense was tremendously reduced several versions ago.
Which version are you using? In v2.9 and the last few prior, I don't recall seeing any idle state exceed 15% of total CPU time (more than ideal, perhaps, but down several times from what it once was and may be able to be brought down even lower if Apple changes their compositing API).
