Hmm, that's really odd. To put things in perspective my machine has
been up for about 6 hours (I rebooted last night) and the indicator
applet has used about 14 seconds of CPU time. Which is about half as
much as the screensaver which only blanks the screen! ;)

Is there anything you know to be odd about your system. The only
'hidden' CPU usage in the indicator applet should use a little bit of
CPU anytime someone comes on or of DBus, but for most folks that's
pretty infrequent. Do you have a lot of apps starting and stopping?

Also, could you compare to the CPU usage of
running /usr/lib/indicator-applet/listen-and-print at the same time?
That would show if the issue is on the GTK side or the libindicate side.
