Hello, skype-1.3.0.53 has been working ok 60% of the time. The other 40% he is eating my CPU. He just does that usually at the start of a call. Needless to say that the call is useless since nobody is able to hear me on the other side and I usually need to restart skype. I really don't know what one can do about this since for all I know skype is closed-source but I really needed to report this because it's pissing me off.
Try your luck upstream, sorry. http://forum.skype.com/
