Ice is doing a lot more than Hidden Bar, such as maintaining a list of available menu bar items and drawing the desktop background over the menu bar (if you have menu bar appearance settings enabled). These things requires periodic background polling, which is what's causing the higher CPU load. While, this will always be the case, there are definitely some optimizations that can be made, so I'll keep this open for now.
