No by default CPU usage. Everything is nearly at 0%.
Three 4Gb XFS partitions on a PII 266/128Mb ram. 
Kernel is a 2.4.9-xfs kernel patched myself.

Other system:
Dell PE2550 PIII 1Ghz. 512MbRAM also 2.4.9-xfs kernel on three
partitions. Everything is in hardware mirror. Also is nearly at 0%. I
can use this system to do some thest if you like. It's not yet a
production system so I can play around.
