The point is that this issue _has_ been investigated and the developers
are aware of what the issue is (checking every theme element several
times a second to see whether it needs to pulse).  It's not a bug, in
that the issue springs from a deliberate design decision (i.e. this is
the intended behaviour).

There's already a plan to only poll elements which are tagged as
pulsing, so we'll just have to wait and see when this gets implemented,
and whether it goes into 0.22 or waits for 0.23 (I suspect the latter).

Cheers,
    Robin
