The new SW (Agent and Manager) for it together consume 25% to 30% of the CPU time! The old Bulldog SW used a negligible fraction of the CPU, but unfortunately it does not work with this new UPS. The UPS works standalone, but then it can't shutdown the eMac if needed. Has anyone else seen this and have a solution?

Why not just use Apple's built-in software (System Preferences > Energy Saver panel)?

Have you tried the Energy Saver System Preference?

Note that some third-party UPS software disables Apple's built-in support for UPS devices in the Energy Saver panel. So you may need to uninstall the third-party (Belkin) UPS software and reboot to actually see and access Apple's UPS support in System Preferences > Energy Saver.
