 pidgin 2.7.1 for Windows XP SP3

 irc.prison.net has probably spotted me as
 an idle hog.  It begins to connect, and then
 pidgin becomes unuseable, eating 89+% of
 my CPU cycles, never completing the connection.
 Could pidgin poll much more slowly, or use
 blocking I/O on a separate thread, or something?
 Could it detect the situation and emit an
 error message?

 Some single way to trump all my auto-login
 settings to off would have been convenient
 for diagnosis.  A command line option, or
 a global XML setting.
