[Bug 23607] New: High CPU usage with idle NewsLeecher

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23607

Summary: High CPU usage with idle NewsLeecher
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.0-rc5
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Since the last two, maybe three RCs, NewsLeecher uses a lot of CPU when it
starts and sits idle. No matter what you do, it keeps using one core
completely. This wasn't the case with rc1 and rc2 for sure (and before).
Sending NL to tray reduces CPU to a better level, but still above normal.

Average use on my 2.8 GHz AMD dual core:
Tray: ~20%
Normal: ~40%-80%, changing every second or so (up/down)

Due to this 'abuse', the GUI updates are very slowly, repaints are clearly
visible and scrolling is very slow because of that.
