Bug Description
I love Steadyflow for its clean UI and use it instead of gwget now, but today I noticed that it causes a significantly higher CPU load if you have some big downloads. I have three concurrent downloads of large files (3,8 GB, 1,9 GB, and 1,4 GB) and together with gvfs-http this takes nearly 30% CPU - pretty much on an Intel i5 @ 2.40GHz.

Is there anything we can do about this?

A lot of the CPU usage comes from IPC between steadyflow and gvfsd-http (which is the process that actually connects to the server). Solving bug #996121 should solve this one as well.
