[R]Linux version is generating CPU load when idle all the ti

See attached picture. There is SoapUI running, it's idle but it consumes 100% of one CPU Core.
This load is not 100% all the time, it oscilates from 25-100, but Windows version do not have this problem at all.

This is not just 4.6.0 issue, I noticed this in 4.5.x as well.

My system is Debian 7 32bit with Gnome Shell and I used installer version of SoapUI. I have Dell E6320 laptop (so some Intel i5 cpu). I uses quite many of ext libraries, I can post their list if needed/

how to reproduce :
1 - start SoapUI, open some tabs and leave it idle
2 - start terminal and run htop
---- CPU will be pretty busy no matter system is idle

this have very big impact on battery life, normally my laptop can handle six hours on battery but with SoapUI running, its around one hour.

    Hi,
    We have seen issues with Jxbrowser which is being used in SoapUI.
    Can you disable the browser in Preferences -> UI Settings -> Disable Browser and restart SoapUI?
    See if that helps otherwise please provide more details about what kind of projects/test cases/scripts you have in SoapUI.

    Best Regards,
