Note that the current Privoxy version is 3.0.26 which means
you are missing out on a bunch of changes including various
performance improvements:

Our current versioning scheme is a bit silly and we only bump
the last number.

That seems unreasonably slow to me, too.

If you enable the debug directives recommended at:
https://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/contact.html
the log file should help to diagnose the issue.

Please reproduce the problem with logging enabled and provide
a log excerpt.

Please also double check that the CPU usage is actually
caused by Privoxy itself.
