I found a way to reduce Vista CPU usage
I just discovered that by changing the Start -> Control Panel -> Power Options in Vista Enterprise (running under build 3150), I was able to reduce the CPU consumption from 37-40% to about 17-20%.

By default, the Power Options setting was Balanced, but I changed it to Power Saver, and CPU usage went down quite a bit. You might also reduce it further by changing the search indexer behavior under the Advanced Settings when you Edit Plan Settings.
