ML> Here again is the first line of my binkd.cfg:

This is my domain line for fidonet..
domain fidonet /usr/local/fido/outbound 1
I wonder if the trailing "\\" in your domain line is needed, or if it makes a difference.
ML> And the node's line in the NODES.CFG file:
ML> node 2:280/464@fidonet fido.vlzn.nl (password) c
That looks good to me.

That is a problem. Binkd on my machine also takes roughly 2% when idle and may spike up a bit when polling nodes but comes back down to 2% when done.
Just a suggestion, run binkd with the -d option and have a look at the output and see if everything looks as it should.
I am now running under linux but when I first ran binkd I was running under OS/2 and binkd ran great for me under OS/2 as it does under linux.
