constant 1.5-2.0% CPU usage

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Launch Snippely

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Using 'top' or 'Activity Monitor', I see that Snippely is using between 1.5 and 
2.0% of CPU, even when I'm not actively using it (background app, ony 1 (one!) 
snippet inside).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Snippely 1.1 on Mac OS 10.6, MacBook2,1

Please provide any additional information below.
