Thanks for Skype 2.6!!!

This time it really feels like you've been fixing things. So far it's working great, and for the first time ever I've seen the CPU usage indicator drop below 100% when doing a two-way video call.

No crashes so far, the only bug I've noticed is that iTunes doesn't stop playing when I receive an incoming call but I think this is more or less known already from previous versions. It's not really a big deal anyway.

Having used it for a little while, I'd say that perhaps there still are a few bugs remaining...

After having been in a video call, Skype's CPU usage won't go down. Before the video call idle CPU usage (when Skype isn't in a call) hovered at around 0.8-1.5% or something like that. After having finished the video call, idle CPU usage is somewhere around 13-18%... Something is wrong!

I think maybe it's got something to do with the macam drivers... If I restart Skype the CPU usage is still high. When I saw the 0.8-1.5% it was after a fresh reboot. I'm using macam 0.9.1. It'd be nice if anyone could confirm whether this is a widespread problem.

Thank you for your input.

Has anyone else noticed it?
