Insane CPU Usage on Ember Wallet (Mac OSX)

[rolzay]

As soon as I open up Ember Wallet on my Mac I get a huge spike in CPU % Usage. It goes up to about 200% and stays there. Fans start to kick in and temps go up. There's clearly some bug that's causing this. It's my first time downloading the Ember wallet and I want to leave it run for a while in order to sync the wallet (which also doesn't work, as I read) but I can't leave it running with 200% CPU usage now can I?
I have the latest version of the wallet.
