I've only just started using awesome, but I haven't had any problems like that with it. The only things changed in my rc.lua are the terminal and theme. My home machine hasn't had any problems, and my work machine, which hasn't been shutdown in a week or so, has ~2% cpu utilization - it's running firefox, komodo edit, gimp, dolphin, and several terminals with screen and irssi.

It might be an Nvidia problem,  though I'm running 173.14.12...
But I don't seem to have the problem with openbox

I just killed xcompmgr and found out that the CPU usage went from 30% to 0.
Could be the solution.
Anyone has an idea what's wrong?
edit: I'm trying xcompmgr-git currently and so far it looks good.

I had that problem with xcompmgr too! I don't use it anymore, pseudo transparency is good enough for me

Real transparency in a tiling window manager ? Why ? Do windows overlap there ? If so, then you're using your window manager in a wrong way

Cause if I use xcompmgr I am able to see my sexy arch wallpaper underneath the terminals, which of course brings the bonus that I am getting more girls IRL. They like things like that, I can tell. Yes, yes.

You can see your wallpaper under your terminals with pseudo-transparency just fine. 
You'd only need real transparency if you overlap them, and if that were the case, then you're not using a tiling wm the way it's meant to be used

Here's how you set pseudo-transparency for urxvt:
Create a file ~/.Xdefaults
urxvt.transparent: True
urxvt.tintColor: #000000
