In addition to the "BitTorrent Sync"-process having a high CPU, its rotating icon in the status bar will probably also cause the WindowServer-process to have a high CPU. It seems like this is a bug on the Mac (Google for: WindowServer High CPU Mac). I don't know if it's on all Macs, but it's on my MacBook Pro with Yosemite. If I pause the syncing, the WindowServer-process gets a low CPU.
Suggestion to the developers:
Please test if the CPU of the WindowServer-process drops by either removing the animating icon from the status bar OR (probably better?) by lowering the update frequency of the icon.

Thank you in advance!
