Would it the case that bladeenc running on 2.4.2 spends more time doing I/O? I am not saying that the userland makes more I/O requests, but if the same set of I/O requests are taking longer to complete on 2.4.2, then while bladeenc is waiting for their completion, it is not so surprising that the other process uses the otherwise-idle CPU cycles.
