Please file a bugreport with instructions how to reproduce this 35% 
permanent cpu load issue.

OpenJDK Icedtea6-1.8 ships with a new xrender backend that are better 
suited for running heavy GUI applications remote across the network.

Try running your application using Icedtea6-1.8 and the following 
command line:
java -Dsun.java2d.xrender=True -jar circuit-construction-kit-dc_en.jar

The xrender backend are developed by Clemens Eisserer during the OpenJDK 
Challenge

You should also check out the video recordings from Fosdem 2009 for a in 
depth presentation of the xrender java2d pipeline. Its cool.
