Here's some more info:
$ free
total used free shared buffers

Mem: 506480 499220 7260 0 1648 65300

$
Notice the swap amount being used.
I don't know what exactly is in that swap, but judging by the
application/desktop responsiveness I would say that it holds all the stuff I am
currently working with. Maybe that explains the intensive CPU usage. The
computer has to constantly swap (or trash) when I switch between applications.
At the time "free" was measured, top displayed xmms using 38% of memory
and firefox 11%, the rest was below 5%.
Maybe it's xmms' fault after all? Or maybe a kernel misconfiguration?
