Tribler continuously using ~50% CPU usage in GUI test mode

[devos50]

I noticed on my Mac that the Tribler process continuously uses around 50% CPU usage when running idle. I suspect that the CPU usage originates from the core process as the 'main' process uses only 1% CPU usage.

Tribler now has a web-based front end and this issue is no longer relevant.
