We've talked with Apple about this minimizing CPU utilization in future products. For now, to reduce CPU utilization:
Set shimmer to "off."
Limit the frames per second to 30.

Reducing the number of fish and turning off the sound and bubble column may help a little bit, depending on the hardware.

In order to evaluate what we'd need to do to meet user expectations...
What is your hardware?
How are you determining that MA is using too much CPU?
What would you consider to be an acceptable amount of CPU load for an desktop picture on your system?

Thanks for your time and your enthusiasm for Marine Aquarium.
