As previously explained: either live with the cpu load (it's not unreasonably 
high for doing on-the-fly reencoding), or disable re-encoding (which means 
streaming at the bitrate of your playlist files - you could encode these 
seperately to the desired bitrate).

There's nothing wrong here - everything is working as you should expect.
