Comment(by AmigoJack):
Can confirm this with version 2.7.1 with GTK 2.16.6.0 on Windows XP SP2.
It is no problem with any plugin. I also got a custom smiley theme
"Trillian". Having a conversation with animated icons makes the CPU usage
go high (up to 40% on an Intel Core Duo 6400 @ 2.1 GHz). Selecting all the
text and disabling all them icons by rightclick immediately calms down the
CPU. I am pretty sure it's because of animated icons. Can the culprit be
any GIF implementation? Or GTK itself? If I rightclick on the window title
to bring up the system menu I can also reduce the CPU load to 0% -
although the animated smileys still animate as before. This behaviour does
not make sense - I tend to suspect GTK rather than a GIF implementation.
It is also no multicore problem - forcing to use only one CPU core or both
doesn't change anything.
The protocol being used doesn't matter also - it happens via ICQ and XMPP.
Does it really help to attach a debug log?
