Public bug reported: This may have started since I upgraded my system to 12.04, it was certainly a recent development at around that time. I am using empathy for IRC only, connected to four channels on two servers, though even disabling all accounts does not change this. The empathy-chat process is very consistently at 9% CPU, with spikes at 10% or higher from time to time. I have tested this on mobile broadband, wifi and ethernet.
