When XBMC is hidden behind another window, OSX will skip the any vsync wait without telling us. So the renderer runs flat out. Unfortunately, there is no way we can detect this case and idle back. It's a quirk of OSX and Cocoa.

Ned, this is really bizarre. I am unable to load the advancedsettings.xml. I have even tried typing it out myself. It is definitely in plain text. What else could be causing it.

Code:
22:56:05 T:140735202963840  NOTICE: No settings file to load (special://xbmc/system/advancedsettings.xml)
22:56:05 T:140735202963840  NOTICE: Loaded settings file from special://profile/advancedsettings.xml
22:56:05 T:140735202963840  NOTICE: Contents of special://profile/advancedsettings.xml are...
                                            <advancedsettings>
                                            </advancedsettings>

This is the full log.

I had the same issue. I did the suggested advancedsettings and it did nothing. I then turned off the RSS feeds and my CPU now sits at 0% when idle.

Realized I never responded to this. Is this still happening? Can you paste the contents of your advancedsetting.xml file to pastebin?

You can make easy links to the XBMC wiki using double brackets around words: [[debug log]] = debug log, [[Add-on:YouTube]] = Add-on:YouTube, [[Adding videos to the library]] = Adding videos to the library, [[userdata]] = userdata, etc
