[CentOS] artsd eating CPU cycles when idle

I've noticed that artsd sometimes eats as much as 20% of CPU when idle. 
  This is on my old laptop (where playing MP3s eats up to 50-60% of 
CPU).  On newer faster processors this would probably go unnoticed (if 
it eats 20% on Pentium MMX, on Pentium 4 it might be around 1-2% or even 
lower).  Just wondering if anybody else noticed this behaviour?
