Bug#651187: rhythmbox: Playing music makes Xorg use all my CPU (in certain circumstances)

Package: rhythmbox
Version: 2.90.1~git20111117.f101562-1
Severity: normal
If I keep a top(1) running in a terminal when I run Rhythmbox, I can see
that the Xorg process uses lots of CPU power (50% to 99% of my
admittedly slow CPU), the load average goes noticeably up, and my
session becomes sluggish when:
- Rhythmbox is playing music;
- and it's running its normal interface (not the reduced display mode
accessible with Ctrl-D, not the "party mix" mode accessible with F11);
- and it's playing a local file or one coming from a DAAP share, but not
an Internet radio.
Reducing the window or hiding it or switching to a virtual desktop where
it's not visible doesn't seem to change the behaviour, unlike changing
the RB interface style with either the menu or the keyboard shortcuts.
Thanks,
Roland.
