High CPU Utilization - Mac

Had some interesting behavior with Twonky...I rebuilt the database collection because I had a problem with my media player finding updated files, then I left the computer - came back and noticed the fan blowing real strong (new Mac Mini)...checked activity window and noticed the 'twonkymediaserver' (all lowercase) thread was running like 299% cpu utilization (don't know how it can go above 100%, but I'm relatively new with MAC) in any event...I stopped the service, and restarted, thinking it would cool down over night...nope...the thing ran 299% cpu utilization all night...I rebooted the computer...still had a problem with my media server playing back (WDLive)..so I rebooted that and it seemed to solve the problem...

Just found it interesting that Twonky services had ballooned its CPU load just requesting a rebuild...anyone else run into this?
