Unusual long CPU spikes with version 0.8.0

[ocosta]

Describe the bug

I hadn't run Bazaar for a while, and was surprised that version 0.8.0 unusually hammers the CPU (I'm seeing a constant 160-180% CPU according to top -- and to my laptop's fan 😅 ). It seems to be happening after I install a package, and goes down after a couple of minutes.

OS

Fedora 44, kernel 7.0.8, GNOME 50

Version

Bazaar - Discover and manage applications

Extra information or context

This was also the first time I linked my Flathub account with my GNOME Gitlab account.

I just noticed this as well, very strange. Sorry about this, looking into it

Thanks @kolunmi ! It does seem to be related to flatpaks installation, just opening Bazzaar and browsing around does not trigger the high CPU usage.
If you need any more info or testing on my part, just let me know.
