I certainly don't see that behaviour in any testing here [I'm seeing maybe 3-5% CPU usage on a P4-2.4Ghz for a process files step looking for all *.exe files on an entire partition]. There is nothing about a Process Files step that should make it CPU-intensive, a Process Files step is basically the equivalent of dir /s (recursive dir).
Are you sure it isn't a child step of the process files step that is consuming CPU cycles (which is being invoked once for each matching file)? You can verify this by unchecking the child steps and running the Process Files step again (which will then just recursively obtain a list of files to process and terminate).
