Indeed. This happens because emms-player-mpd is polling mpd every
second. Looks like a bug in tq.el or even in Emacs core. I've filed a
bug report.

Setting `emms-player-mpd-check-interval' to a higher number like 5
seconds might make this more bearable. Of course, this will lead to EMMS
noticing song changes later.
