In Feisty (CUPS 1.2.7) the 100% CPU problem disappears, probably due to the following fix:

The problem of cups-polld running as root and therefore not taken down when cupsys is stopped still persists. I recommend to expand the cupsys run-as-user patch to also let the sub-daemons (cups-polld and cups-lpd) drop their privileges as soon as possible. This way CUPS can kill these daemons and as a side effect the security of these daemons is improved.
