AdiumX 0.81: too processor hungry!

For some reason, ever since I updated to v. 0.81 I've been noticing a significant chunk of my processor time dedicated to AdiumX. It didn't used to be this way with 0.7x and, since I have a 400MHz G4, the last thing I need is an instant messaging program hogging almost half my processor resources.
Anyone have this problem? Anyone knows if it could be eliminated, somehow? Thanks in advance...
PS. Running MacOS X Panther (10.3.9) on a Sawtooth G4, 400MHz sp, 1.25GB RAM.

Some things that I know tend to be processor intensive are contact list transparency and gradients. You could try taking those out and see if it's any better.
On another note, nice sig

Tried eliminating transparency and gradients from my contact list colors... processor is still freaking out. It seems that had absolutely no effect whatsoever.
Thanks for your suggestions anywho...

Yeah, currently my Adium is using 0% CPU. And is at that level for 95% of the time.

Perhaps you could take a sample of Adium using Activity Monitor while it's using up all of this CPU? Mine also uses 0.00% of the CPU most of the time.

Got it... apparently, the dock icon I had was the culprit, since it was in constant motion. I switched it with a static dock icon and that was that.
Thanks again for your replies, guys.

Yep, that'll do it.

I see we have some Cowboy Bebop fans in here.
Shinichiro Watanabe rules. I assume you've all seen Samurai Champloo as well? Excellent stuff.
(PS sorry for the thread hijack!)
