Aeon has an insane number of controls onscreen simultaneously (around 1200 last time I checked whilst in media views). This increases the CPU load significantly.
Sluggishness moving between items (i.e. while scrolling and the like) is more disk-based slow down than anything else.

this is good information Jonathan I'm glad you posted this, question I have read this somewhere but I can't find it again (of course lol) not sure if it came from an XBMC team guy or just some random dude spouting. Converting all my backdrops to BMP improves performance right? My large JPG collection went to a huge BMP collection when I batch converted them, but if it bumps up the speed of a skin a bit more it might be a good thing for people in here to try. If this isn't accurate feel free to chime in
