STEAM 100% cpu usage

I leave steam open because i use it to talk to my bastard friends and whenever i put my cursor over 1 of the steam boxes such as a chat box, my cpu usage goes to 80-100%..

why the hell is this happening?

i set the affinity for steam to different cores but still it happens..

my friend says it happens to him too.. anyone know a fix?

same here. except for some reason my cpu usage goes to 60-70% only. of course your cpu can destroy mine, but it's still weird why yours is 100 and mine is 70.
