Launcher hogging CPU

Noticed that when the launcher is downloading, or trying to download the patch, its CPU usage goes through the roof. On my PC it takes up one core worth of CPU. As I understand it, the launcher is nothing more than a "Web browser", it shouldn't take that much CPU when just downloading. When it's patching or checking the cache, sure, understandable, that's more CPU intensive work.

Funniest the situation is when the download is stalled for some reason, I'm apparently experiencing some network issues so connectivity is patchy, but even when the progress bar on the download isn't moving anywhere and the numbers stay the same, it keeps churning away CPU the same way.
