Exactly. Here I am thinking Dropbox is awesome because it's both stable and just works. Who knew a product needed to have a steady stream of feature updates until it subsumed the very operating system it sat on top of.

I have three computers running OS X. Currently Dropbox eats around 33% CPU on all of these modern machines. Am I the only one experiencing these problems?

Do you have processes that actively write to files in your Dropbox folder on a regular basis? Dropbox averages < 0.5% CPU on my Mac, but your mileage may vary. I do consider even that much somewhat odd considering that I'm a very occasional user.
