i can confirm that after renaming my .xbmc folder, and rebooting, xbmc.bin cpu usage is at around 3-4%.
i of course lost all my settings but, at least we can move forward with some new testing.
anyone have ideas ?
**Edit
i moved averything from my original .xbmc folder except for the addon data located in various places, back in the freshly created .xbmc folder
CPU usage still 3-4% at idle.
this is an addon problem.
now to narrow down the list.

will you share with me a list of your addons ?
**edit
ive narrowed the list down to ~20 script/plugins
this is what im down to:
script.module.parsedom
script.common.plugin.cache
script.module.simple.downloader
script.libraryautoupdate
script.module.simplejson
script.module.elementtree
one of those is the culprit
