That's what you want. BD High-def and H.264 in general is one of most compute-intensive operations that your computer can do. Its a massive amount of frame-processing, compression, and disk access. Basically, everything.
The fact the software is using all available resources to get the job done quick is a good thing.
CUDA reduces my processing time about 35%, but I haven't done a ton of testing with/without GPU encoding enabled. I'm sure it varies on the power of your video card, too.
I have a AMD quad processor and it runs consistently about 90%, so I probably could have used a bit more powerful GPU and it would fully load the processor (and get done quicker).
