I think it's just a matter of the browser not letting the CPU idle for whatever reason. I do run AdBlock Plus though, and am hoping that content blockers in OS X El Capitan will help with this even further.

Switch to uBlock Origin. Way better on CPU usage.

On chrome or Safari? Someone did a comparison of all the different blockers on HN a few weeks ago and I found out about uBlock Origin. But they didn't support Safari.
