App consuming 100% of CPU with common usage

[sevenok]

Expected behaviour

Average (close to none) CPU consumption when using the calculator.

Actual behaviour

Once I do any calculation the CPU usage spikes to 100% or very close to that percentage.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Type any calculation (at times not even a calculation, just numbers). It's irrelevant the type of calculation for what I have tested.

Example:

2+2+1

That'll do the work, 80 to 100% just for doing that. And the CPU usage keeps like that for about 10 seconds after the calculation.

This did not occur on Debian Unstable with a post-1.24 build from git master, I was unable to duplicate this. Machine is a 8 "core" (actually two threads per core, 4 core) AMD bulldozer box so maybe this happens on slower machines? Or maybe some difference in the OS causing it to hang?

I have tried arithmetic operations and I do not see a considerable CPU consumption
