A man doesn't know what he knows until he knows what he doesn't know.
On an old SGI Indy (mips architecture) mpg321 also uses about 90% of the
cpu whereas ogg123 is just around 60%
You could also try using different mp3 players, maybe they use
different code to play mp3s.
Also try differnet bitrates. Decoding a 320 kBit file certainly uses
more CPU than 128 kbit fil
nd in vesa framebuffer.
Which kernel do you use? Does it use a graphics mode (that is: do you
see some logo during linux kernel start) or does it use native text
mode?
What resolution does your tft screen support?

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
which is the most reliable way to configure Xfree i have found.
DON'T use those Xfree-included tools, they never worked for me.
The debian-configurator works much better.
BTW: the best place to ask is the debian-users mailing list...

Single user is for repairing a seriously broken system and such.
See the docs how to start it (depends on wheter you use lilo or grub)

Sounds like a hardware problem to me.
