Hello! Very nice work! But i ve a question. Is it normal that this client consumes 99% of my CPU resources? (1Ghz Pentium 3 box). It seems to depend on the combination POE::Component::IRC & Tk. Running POE::Component::IRC together with Tk is causing this. Using POE::Component::IRC without Tk or using Tk without POE::Component::IRC within the same application does not need as much resources. I think this is strange.
