Gwibber uses an enormous amount of RAM when it's checking my Twitter
account and maxes out my dual-core CPU as well.

It takes up so many processor cycles that it pushes the temperature sensors on 
my AMD Turion64x2 from about its normal operating range of 120° to well over 
140°. I've taken Facebook off Gwibber and that helps a little, but not much. 
Here it is with Facebook added back in.

So I have it as gwibber, gwibber-service and an apparently-related
process called "beam.smp" ... which also has a bug report in Launchpad
for using lots of processor cycles on CouchDB contacts lookup:
