It's a wxWindows problem.  When running on Windows it uses 1%
of the CPU when idle, and the Mac OS version uses exactly the
same source code.  I just tested 7.5 beta 3 on OS X, and it indeed
uses between 30% and 40% of the CPU when idle.

If anyone wants to fix this, the source code for wxWindows is on:
