That seems very low to me...
trimmed output from: top -uws5 5
PID COMMAND %CPU TIME
3196 GATCP3.app 48.2% 9:02.64

The first entry is a largish applescript which only speaks to
itself and System Events, and spends its time entirely in the
background. How much work is your script 'farming out' to other
applications? What is the overal load on your CPU? [top shows I'm
sitting on 5-7% idle on a G4 @400MHz; if I have no active user
processes other than GATCP3.app and terminal, then GATCP3.app
reaches about 70% of CPU]

work; [...] And yet, from time to time a boundless sense of
inferiority plagues me, a desperate feeling of general failure; how
does a person acquire such bits of lunacy?
