WGS v0.1 & v0.2: CPU hogs

October

Update: Updated binaries and source code now available from Codeplex!

Uh, not sure why, but I'd say avoid using my WGS addin until I release v0.3, because it seems to be using a massive 50% or more CPU usage - on both cores - on my laptop.
I might have to look into WMI and see if there are known performance issues with it, but for now, I'm just issuing a 'you may have problem with this program' warning.

Performance, and other things, are coming soon in v0.3 - but Uni is rearing its ugly head so the next version may not be out till the end of the week

Edit: Yeah, seems to be WMI (or at least the way I'm using it). Every game detection adds ~5% CPU usage.
My current detected amount of games gives me about 40% usage. Disable the addin drops it down to <9% CPU usage.
