Hi

Ok I have been doing some diagnosis of a problem and have a specific report of how it happens.

I first noticed that when browsing some sites I had high cpu usage after the page loaded and it was windows 7 firewall control. The firewall blocks the udp 137 netbios requests for ip's that dont resolve, and everytime one of these requests got blocked the cpu usage went high for about 5 seconds. I first reset the log file as it was at 1meg size and was hard on cpu to open in notepad, but this didnt fix. I then noticed whenever the 'blocked events' list in the gui refreshed the cpu usage was high for 5 seconds and that everytime something got blocked this was auto refreshed, when I reset the list the problem is gone. so for me a feature request as a solution would be to disable auto refresh when new event blocked, or add option so its a choice to disable. Then can manual refresh if needed. Or fix the cpu usage problem when it refresh, it is fine when not much in the list but when many items is problem.
