Similar problem here. Gaim uses a lot of CPU not when I open many tabs, but when someone uses animated icons. In that conversation, when a send a message, it takes a lot of time to display the text. This does not happen when both don't use animated icons.
All this happens with Gaim 2.0.0+beta3.1-1ubuntu9 (Sorry for my English).
