LolClient consumes an excessive amount of CPU when idle, even when minimized.

Memory usage is also excesive, but doesn't bother me since RAM is cheap.
CPU instead, goes from 10-15% at all times (when idle, and doing nothing), even though my PC is fairly powerful. This not only degrades my performance, but also makes my CPU run hotter and louder.

On older CPUs I would guess it can easily reach 25% of CPU usage idle.
