This sounds like essentially the same as bug 813409 but we won't be sure until (unless?) a fix is developed. In that bug I noted:

"Found the cause to be that my indicator-datetime is set to display seconds, not just hours and minutes. This seems to cause unity/compiz to send the SyncOne and SyncGeometries dbus messages to unity-panel-service every second. And profiling unity-panel-service with callgrind shows it is spending all it's time in g_variant_ fuctions, invoked by the dbus activity. So this needs to be optimized. It's quite wrong that something happening only once per second should use so much CPU."
