Comment(by tomeu):

 Replying to [comment:4 daf]:
 > What surprises me about this one is that Erik can reproduce it with a
 GStreamer pipeline alone. I wouldn't be hugely surprised if the PS had
 some performance problems when dealing with large amounts of buddies, but
 I would expect them to only surface in the context of an activity talking
 to it.

 If the PS is using a noticeable amount of cpu when buddies appear and
 disappear, the mesh view in the shell will probably make things worst. We
 can reduce the time spent in the shell considerably.

 > A good place to start with debugging might be "top", to see if there's
 CPU starvation.

 Agreed, as soon as we see it happen again.
