I recognized this "calling home" behaviour, too. It either happens when Hammer is idling or when you hit the "browse" button, for instance to load a model. The funny thing is: This does not happen regularly, but rather occasionally.
Other things I have recently noticed in conjunction with Hammer: - normal maps seem to have less effect than before - after building cubemaps, you have to shut down the game entirely and restart it to see them...wasn't like that before.
