100% cpu utilization on Mac OS X

[svlobanov]

Bitmessage v0.6.0 works OK, but uses 100% CPU after identity generation (8 identities, passphrase). If reopen the application it works OK.

I'll look at it. I tested it on 10.7.x and 10.11.x and it worked fine, but I haven't tried deterministic addresses recently.

You know, when you create an address, PyBitmessage will generate a maximum TTL pubkey message for each of them. This takes a bit of time. If you shut down it down, it will wait until all the messages are created before closing the window. I suppose this happened to you but I'll still do the test shortly.

I tested it and it's as I suspected. After the pubkeys are send out (on my 7 year old mac mini it takes maybe 10 minutes) the CPU usage drops again. So all is ok and it's a UI question (the UI could indicate to the user better what it's doing now). I'll leave this open for reference and close it once I do the UI change.
