High CPU Usage even after disconnecting

[quarks]

After connecting to a TS3 server and even after disconnecting from a server, TeamSpeak Client takes about 30% CPU usage. This is extremely annoying because game playing is not possible anymore.

I've got:
TeamSpeak Client 3.0.0-rc2 Build 14642 with Qt 4.7.2
Mac OS X 10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro (Aluminium) 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (same problem on a 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro (all other versions identically)

This happens with the build in microphone as well as with my external soundcard/headset (SoundBlaster Tactic 3D Alpha). Disabling echo reduction, etc. does not change anything at all. Got nothing to do with the server (or encryption, etc.) because the client consumes the same amount of cpu after disconnecting from a server.

Same Problem here :/ ...and still no answer

I also had this problem, except I don't usually play games on Mac so I am fine most of the time.

But I did notice a sharp drop on CPU usage since I upgraded to Lion. It used to be around 20%-30%, and now it drops to 8-13%.

P.S.: As a workaround for those who have earlier OS. After you launch teamspeak, check the PID of the teamspeak (which is 3051 in the previous post), then you can type

sudo renice +10 pid

(In this case, it is

sudo renice +10 3051

)

The CPU usage may be the same when there's idle resources, but it would prioritize the tasks so that Teamspeak client has lower priority when the processor is busy. But there may be side effects: you may notice choppy voices or other bad stuff in Teamspeak client, but your game would run just fine. (That is, if you don't mind CPU fan noises...)
