Uses 1-2% CPU and 25MiB here. 1-2% CPU is what I get with xmms,
goggle's music manager, and audacious,  AMD x4 620 (x86_64).
But on an Intel PDC 2140 (1.6ghz x 2) i486 with Intel GPU, it uses
10-20% cpu, same as audacious. xmms uses 1-2% CPU.

For a light weight music player that doesn't need library management,
it's still hard to beat xmms. It's been my single file player of
choice for years. Must admit, deadbeef does look nice though :-)
