Safari and Gmail on Windows: Lots of CPU

Recently, I’ve noticed that when I use the Safari browser on XP for Gmail, it takes up a LOT of my machine’s CPU.

Gmail on Safari Uses a LOT of CPU

Around 50%!

This is not just when I’ve opened Gmail. It is a number of minutes after. And it will go on for a number of minutes.

What is going on here?

On the machine I’m concerned about, I’m using:
Safari 5.0.2
Windows XP
Gmail
