High CPU on Puppy Linux when idle

I'm running Spotify on Puppy Linux 7 on an Asus EEE PC900. This netbook is dedicated for Spotify and not running any other applications.
When playing music, the netbook runs smooth and quiet, but quickly after SPotify stops playing, CPU usage goes through the roof and the fan starts spinning, making annoying noise. When I shut down Spotify, the netbook cools down almost instantly.
What is causing Spotify to use high CPU when 'idle' and what can I do about it?
Note: when I close Spotify and start it again, there are no high CPU issues. Only after Spotify stops playing CPU usage goes high.
