I didn't realize I was compressing a 700mb file and 12 tabs of Firefox open while I was running this test. This is my everyday surf the web system that's a part time DAW. I'll have to run this on the machine I do most audio work.
Thanks for this test.

For comparison I got the same result +/- 1% CPU with:
OS X 10.5.6 w/ L8.0.1
OS X 10.8.1 w/ L8.0.4
OS X 10.6.1 w/ L8.0.8
i.e. no difference moving from Leopard to Snow Leopard...
Latest result:
1. Ableton Live CPU Meter % -
55

3. Operating System? - OS X
10.6.3
4. Ableton Live version? Live

...as you can see, performance remains quite unchanged...
