I get similar behavior running GRASS on Gentoo Linux and on older  
builds for OS X, though recent (say, since February/March of this  
year) builds for Mac OS X don't have that problem, provided GRASS  
remains as the frontmost window. Similarly, older builds of v.digit  
also claimed 100% of the processor, but again, recent builds for Mac  
OS X do not.

In Gentoo, v.digit only claims about 15% of the processor, but X is  
claiming 85%.
