 When I log into the machine, Pidgin cup usage goes to 50 percent and stays
 there.  The memory used keeps climbing, usually settling on 300-400Mb.
 Eventually, I am able to click on the system tray icon and get pidgin to
 come up.  When it does, cpu usage drops to 0 and sytems starts responding
 normally.  This can take anywhere from 5 minutes to more than 1/2 an hour.
 Clicking on any function in pidgin causes a spike in both cpu and
 memory.usage and there is usually a lag when selecting functions.
