Prochat occupies 100% CPU usage

I'd say it's the "I'm Online" animations more so than the background. The background is static, uses next to no CPU usage when loaded. Try turning your friends list off so you only have 2 flash animations running.

The way flash works is:

It loads the plugin for each flash embed, and overlayed in the window.
When multiple items are loaded, flash loads the plugin for each instance causing a lot of over head.
Even windows has this problem but because Flash is better designed for Windows compared to Mac, this isn't much of a issue.

Firefox in recent build has started loading plugins in a external process separate from Firefox to reduce heave loads from Firefox itself that could cause it to freeze.
In the external process, if the plugin crashes (flash) or high CPU usage, it won't affect the browser.

What the hell, prochat doesn't lag at all any more. The version is still 2.8.5, and I didn't change anything on my side, either.

Might have been some background program then.
