Thanks, I tried to kill some processes, one by one, with no results. But
fortunately I started a compilation while `top` was running. The CPU
usage decreased 40~50%. 

That's strange: a CPU consuming task that decrease the CPU usage.

So, a with a little shining....

It seems the high CPU usage come from, or at least is related with new
presence/idle stuff in gnome-session.

Reverting it to revision 5188 fix the issue.

Filed as bug 568989

Thanks everyone :)
