Well I just tried AP 2.0b32 on both Mac OS X (2.6GHz Core 2 Duo + 4GB  
RAM) and WinXP (Same CPU, 1.2GB RAM) with a plan open containing the  
entire NGC catalogue (7840 objects), Fast visibility update and  
Highlighting on. Both OSes reported AP using c. 16% of CPU time. If  
you change the Visibility update rate to "Manual" it drops to about 2%.

Let's see if your problem goes away with 2.0b32.
