Hi Takashi:

  It seems that the problem is non-existent if TiMidity is not connected 
to anything. I ran it for about 8 hours without connecting it to any 
other software, CPU usage remained very low. Btw, I've upgraded to 
version 2.13 now.

  Also btw, thanks to everyone who wrote with observations and suggestions !

Best,
