Comment 32 for bug 365187

Not sure if this belongs on this ticket, otherwise let me know and I will open a new one. When Indicator Applet fails to access pulseaudio it pushes system CPU usage to use up all spare capacity of one core (most of this is accounted for by top as "system" time). Seen on Lucid and Maverick. To reproduce, change $HOME/.pulse* to be owned by root and kill pulseaudio. To make the problem go away again, rm -r $HOME/.pulse*.
