Pegasus hogging my CPU!

I have realized that Pegasus is behaving in a way that I find strange and don't understand.

When Pegasus is left loaded but not being used, its use of my CPU rises to 50% and there is lots of disk access. Then, if I do something with Pegasus the CPU usage drops to zero for a while. But when I stop using it, it soon goes back up to about 50%. This seems to go on indefinitely (longer than I have had the patience to watch it). Can this be normal?

It has occurred to me that Pegasus might be doing some sort of housekeeping. I do have a lot of mail in my mailbox. But I would think that would end eventually. The thought also has occurred to me that Pegasus might be infected with some sort of virus. However, I have not found any references to such by searching.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what is going on?

I am using Pegasus 4.63 on WinXP SP3.
