Well, I guess the real question is why does Amarok poll in the first place?
libsolid is doing what it's supposed to do: if you query a list is asks the 
system for it (in that case udisks). So obviously if you constantly ask the 
system you get the system component always eating CPU.

I would advise against having this kind of libsolid call triggered by a timer. 
libsolid provides the necessary signals to let you know when a new device 
appeared or disappeared.
