Thats pretty bad if you just consider the decoding of mp3's..

I have a P100 here and mpg123 playing 128kbit mp3s..
  PID USERNAME PRI NICE  SIZE    RES STATE    TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
 1693 doconnor  -6   0 10516K  1540K dspwr    0:15 26.26% 24.41% mpg123

This is mpg123 compiled with OPT_ARCH=i586 though.

xmms uses threads which could be why its using more CPU that it should.. If
something it uses isn't implemented properly it could be busy waiting instead
of sleeping..
