CPU usage

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Great app and low CPU usage while running (an avarage of 0,05%)
But when Shades is actively used, for instance when I'm logging into my system and Shades starts or when altering a setting, the CPU usage is HUGE, with peaks of 48% CPU!! (2.4 Ghz intel processor)
I know it is only for a short period (1 - 2 seconds) but losing almost 50% of the CPU simply can't be a good thing.

CPU usage - tcyip

This is also a HUGE 16.4 MB file. Just for controlling brightness, What gives? Brightness Control is only 145 K
