CPU Usage Problem

[Blue Racer]

This morning my gbpvr computer was extremely slow. When I finally got the Windows Task manager to load it indicated that gbpvr was taking up 98% of the cpu processing usage. I did install a number of new plugins last night. They are:
News Feeds
Web Cams
Sports Scores
Theatres
Weather
I also started to use the PlainJane skin.
Which of these items could be causing my problem?

The PlainJane skin does not effect cpu usage (I never had a performance issue with the appearance manager plugin, which the skin uses). There has been a report from ShinningDragon that the Newsfeeds panel can be a resource hog, but I don't use it to be able to confirm it (plus I don't know if PlainJane supports it).

There has been some other reports lately of high cpu usage, and I suspect sub would like to know if you have performance issues without any additional plugins installed (temporarily move all files out of the plugins directory).

I haven't had any issues running Weather and Theater on my HTPC.
