I am running Growl (latest version in App storer and Lion 10.7.2) on a
headless Mac Mini.

I believe there is a significant bug that most people would not be
aware of.

I also run iStat Menu's on this Mac Mini and it is mounted via Screen
Sharing to my iMac.

Normal CPU activity on my Mac Mini is around 15%-20%.

However when I get a Growl notification and the Roll Up Window
appears, CPU goes up to 80%.

Once I dismiss the Rollup CPU immediately drops back to its normal
level.

I have now had to disable the Rollup to remove this huge spike in CPU.

Does anyone have any idea why this would be happening?

Is it just the rollup window? What if you set rolloup to automatically show up to disabled, does it still do that?

Also can you get us a sample the next time this happens?

I have a similar issue: after some time running in the background, I'll notice that my macbook starts heating up for no obvious reason, and when I check the activity monitor I'll find a Growl process that is eating up a full CPU…

I'm not sure it is related to the Rollup for me. It might have something to do with the Skype plugin in my case. Will get you a dump next time it happens.

Does this happen in 1.3.3?

I'm having this issue, too. The sample is rather bulky, so I'm sending

same problem as whom, exactly?
and if you can't reproduce the problem, how do you even know it exists?
