gnorpm appears to use an inordinate amount of resources (specifically % cpu) on 3 different RedHat 6.0 systems. The specific resource increase occurs when you try to do a webfind. Gnorpm, then, when *idle* (e.g. the webfind window is open,b ut the program is minizmied), uses up 30-40% cpu. These aren't 386's either :], I have had the same problem on a Pentium Pro 200, Celeron 333, and Pentium II 233. I tried upgrading to GnoRPM 0.9, but the problem persists.
When webfind is started, it does some background operations which eat lots of CPU, but only for a few seconds. Then, on my system, no further CPU usage is seen.
