Had a similar problem - mount.ntfs-3g process uses up to 80% of CPU.
Finally found the reason - large files (40GB).
mount.ntfs has a special option to support large files - big_writes.
I updated my /etc/fstab configuration file and it works now!
CPU load variates from 0 to 45%, but not constant 80% anymore.

Example of /etc/fstab file:

/dev/sda1 /media/USBHDD1 ntfs noatime,big_writes 0 0
