I installed the latest unstable xmms and cpu usage
is reported as ~15% now, half of what it was. At
30% it noticably slowed down other processes on my
233.

Did it fool xosview as well? The utilities I used
to monitor cpu usage all showed almost no load when
only x11amp was running. I have no clue how
accurate any of them are though.
It's not a problem now anyhow. Xmms is a nice
piece of work and I don't feel guilty about
letting it run in the background all the time
now.
