I can confirm that _all_4_ 64-bit CPU cores are occupied at 100%
indefinitely (ie more than 15 minutes already) by yelp under these
conditions:

Ubuntu 9.04
kernel 2.6.28-17
RAM: 12 GB
Processor: i7-920 (4 hyperthreaded Intel cores running at about 2.4 GHz each)
HD: WD 1-TB
Clicking on "System->About Ubuntu" kicks off the problem, which shows no sign 
of ending yet. Ubuntu becomes utterly unresponsive.

This seems like a pretty serious problem, given that yelp starts up at
what I would consider to be rather unexpected times. It also appears to
be problematic across multiple versions of Ubuntu. Is there any way to
remove yelp completely from the picture, at least until it behaves
sociopathically?
