First, don't sudo; there is no reason for bitcoin to run as root.
Second: it isn't done downloading the block chain. I just checked a bitcoind I've got running on an Amazon micro instance, and it is using less than 1% of the CPU. After you've got all 128,909 blocks the CPU usage should drop.

Hello,
I am running the bitcoind (launched as sudo ./bitcoind -server) on a amazon micro instance running ubuntu. The problem is that the CPU utilisation is 100% even when my hash/s count is 0! For information, getinfo returns. I want to run the bitcoind on a website and I need every CPU cycle for http requests.
sudo ./bitcoind getinfo
{
"version" : 32100,
"balance" : 0.00000000,
"blocks" : 117966,
"connections" : 16,
"proxy" : "",
"generate" : false,
"genproclimit" : -1,
"difficulty" : 82347.22294654,
"hashespersec" : 0,
"testnet" : false,
"keypoololdest" : 1307310377,
"paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
"errors" : ""
}
