A patch for this (and other somewhat inefficent code, especially on a Geode
with 300MHz ;-) ) was already sent to Klaus. It introduces a few hashlists in
parallel to the channels and event structures. With an empty event list, the
ARD transponder needs about 40% CPU (but the thread is also niced), after a
while the load goes down to about 1% (both numbers on the Geode system).

But beware, it's only tested on 1.3.21 and contains some other experimental
patches...
