Synopsis: Estudio keeps using 40% of one CPU after turning on physics in Diagram tab
Description
Compile with trivial root class TEST and precompiled EiffelBase. Drag TEST into Context window. Select Diagram tab. Turn off Physics if on. Bring up Physics Settings window and set all parameters to 0%. Close it. Drag cluster `base' into Target to Cluster hole. Diagrams it. Turn on physics. Estudio keeps using about 20% of the CPU (40% of one CPU on dual CPU machine), indefinitely as far as I can tell.

Turning on physics is very CPU demanding, especially if the diagram never stabilizes which is the case when using 0 for all settings and having non-compiled classes in the system. I'm leaving this bug suspended because there is not much we can do now.
