My only problem with syncthing is how much CPU it eats up when you have a lot of files under sync, regardless of if you use file watch or not. Is there a way to reduce its tickrate so it isn't constantly checking files for changes?

You can increase the rescan interval in the folder settings (advanced settings section). If you use inotify, you can just set it to 0 to disable automatic rescans.
