1 year ago I expect the most likely explanation would be that it's hitting some particularly bad case for rendering the lyrics, but without more info and/or a reproduction of the issue it's very hard to tell with any degree of certainty. I'm guessing "around 10%" is either ~8% (on a 12-core machine) or ~12% (on an 8-core machine). Do you know how many CPU cores your machine has?
If you manage to come up with a reproduction or a characterisation of the tracks/lyrics that cause the problem then that'd obviously be amazing. If you do manage to reproduce the issue then it'd be really helpful if you could collect & post some debug console output too (in case openlyrics is getting stuck loading/rendering the lyrics or something).

Sometimes openlyrics loads lyrics, but for some reason it makes foobar take a higher cpu% than usual. A system running foobar should take no more than 2%,, but when the issue happens, it takes around 10%.
Steps to reproduce
Expected behavior
It keeping a constant low cpu usage %
Versions
Additional information
The cpu usage % goes low if the foobar is completely minimized. If it is on screen, or even if there's a maximized window from other program, foobar still have ~10% cpu usage until it goes to the next song, and it loads normally. I still don't have a complete rule for this to happen, but it happened, for example, in a song which loaded an incorrect lyric due to wrong tagging. Once I corrected the tag and it loaded the correct lyric, the cpu usage went low. In this case, it was a song with Japanese lyrics, unsynced. I have many other files with these same features and no problem.
