Launching MaxIDE pegs xorg CPU usage

Miscellaneous Forums/Linux Discussion/Launching MaxIDE pegs xorg CPU usage

When I launch MaxIDE 1.3 - the version available for download separately from the forum here - xorg's CPU usage pegs to around 25% and remains there. This doesn't happen with any other applications I use on a regular basis, not even firefox or other IDEs.
