Angry iChat using 80% of CPU!!!

Hi to all,

I have 10.3.3 . I have iChat on all day. Although I only had safari, mail, iChat and dreamweaver on, my powerbooks fans started... this has benn going on for quite some time... And today I wanted to resolve the problem. I opened the Activity viewer utility. The results where very surprising! iChat was using over 80% of the CPU !!!! Even Photoshop CS was only using 18%!!!

Does anyone have the same problem? I'm using iChat AV 2.1 on a Powerbook 1.25 Ghz with 10.3.3

Thanks,

Teebo

current cpu activity: 15%
safari, mail, text, launchbar, finder and ichatav running.
tibook 1Ghz here.
Sounds like something weird is going on with ichat. Did you add anything? New icons or stuff like that? Is video running?

Try restarting. Sounds like iChat just had a leak or something. Sometimes my fans will start if I've had the computer asleep and then hit it with a static shock as I wake it up.

Sorry Sam,

I did not add anything to iChat. I did add a couple buddy pictures for myself, but I erased them. Otherwise... no clue.
