This shouldn't happen. At least it doesn't happen on my system, and CPU usage during extraction is close to zero with plugin enabled. Please recheck this, because the extraction speed can be quite random sometimes and can for example decrease if drive is overheated. If this still happens, please post more details, including extraction log etc.

[a44f5b0b] (112/112) Accurately ripped
As you can see, there is almost a 1.0x reduction in ripping speed when the audio processing plugin is turned on, which translates into the rip taking 6 - 7 minutes longer than it should.
