can you try disabling chat logs and tell me if it fixes it? also, can you find out some reason that triggers the high cpu load?

I get very similar results when plus is running, I have 0 CPU usage when Messenger is idling and about 20-25 mb ram usage.

Operating system: Windows Vista RC2 Build 5744
Messenger Build: 8.1.0168.00_ClientV8.1
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 +300 1.8ghz
Plus! Build: 4.11.0.254 - No Plugins - Plus! Chat Logging Enabled

I had very similar problems like Maikel has. I ended up uninstalling both WLM and MP!L completely and reinstalling both again after reboot since I didn't have the time for a pretty solution, right now everything runs fine on the new build.

High CPU load started directly after sign in for me, made WLM freeze all of the time and practically impossible to chat with.

MP!L 4.11
WLM 8.1 build 168

Ok scrap that, i rebooted the new WLM and it choked. When Plus! was installed, whenever I opened up the contact list, it'd die, and without plus! a conversation box would make it crash. So i reverted to the latest stable version, which is the first ever time I have ever needed to do that!

However the CPU didn't overload, just jumped to 50% for a split second before it crashed!

You might want to give us your CPU type and everything.

If this [somehow] didn't get you any closer to solving the mystery, accept my apologies.

Well, I'm having the very same problem. With WLM 8.1 the process "System" uses all my CPU, making it impossible to chat, when it doesnt crash instantly.

Still trying to find a solution for that.

My Specs: P4 1.7Ghz, 512Mb RAM, WinXP SP2

If anyone has a clue, plz help

BTW, Im having that problem with or without MP!L.. And its only on 8.1.xxx
On 8.0 I never got such problem

try using ReduceMEM

this will not do any good, nor is it related to CPU usage.

sorry to bump this thread up
face this issue also
CPU usage shoots up whenever i login messenger.
and yea it's System that takes up ...

Yeah it happen to me too, even on 8.0. It happen after i reinstalled 8.0 (I didn't upgrade to 8.1 Beta)

Well it's just annoying where my CPU fan will spin fast and usage rose up for awhile... But beside that it does't bother me... it Doesn't cash and only happen when I logged in.
