After Being Opened for a While, Uses too Much CPU & RAM
Using Gasmask v0.8.5 and host file from https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts. After Gasmask is opened in the tray icon for several minutes, it starts to consume too much CPU. I have to force quit to stop it. This issue started recently (2-3 weeks ago). I just updated macOS High Sierra (10.13.3) and the issue still exists. Any ideas what's going on? Suggestions for a fix?

@2ndalpha the resource usage issue is still happening on the latest version. Any suggestions?
@2ndalpha Any ideas on how to fix this issue? I'd really appreciate your help! :)
I see your measley 56,5% CPU time and raise you 99,5%!
I can't even get it to launch by double-clicking the app. The GUI doesn't appear, my laptop's fans spin up to "prepare for take-off" speed and the CPU maxes out. Log below.

BTW: for what it's worth, I'm using the PR #155 patch by @softwarebouwer –just in case the problem is related to that.
Oddly, if I open the binary directly from a terminal:
$: /Applications/Utilities/Gas\ Mask.app/Contents/MacOS/Gas\ Mask
the GUI opens fine and CPU usage is negligible. So it looks like it's either a problem with the patch, or the .app package.
EDIT: Bloody typical!
After seeing this behaviour three times in a row, when trying to launch the GasMask app, I've just tried it again and it's opened normally, without any turbo-prop fan activity. So looks like one of those annoying intermittent issues.
