Hi,

I have noticed that the freenet tray icon seems to be using more resources
than it needs to. If I open process explorer, and sort the entries by
CSwitch Delta, the freenettray.exe program is always in the top 5-10.  On my
computer it seems to be around 200 per update interval.  This indicates that
the tray icon is using more CPU than it probably needs to.  For an
explanation, see here:

By comparison, my product's tray icon polls our service over RPC every few
seconds, and never seems to have a CSwitch delta higher than 5.

I've attached a screenshot of process explorer.
