MeeCast is a great app, but as I wrote before, for me the applet negatively affects the battery life. I investigated this a bit deeper and found out that this is due to significant increase of CPU time taken by mapplicationext. Without applet installed I don't see it among top 10 of my CPU consumers according to conky, while with applet installed it becomes top consumer. Is this a known issue? Is this direct or indirect effect of applet or just some strange coincidence of my particular setup?
