Compiled app using a LOT of processing power

Hi all. 

You may vaguely remember a thread about using a standalone as a kind of ad hoc animated dialog using Applescript commands? Well as it turns out that app while running is using 16% to 18% of my processor just sitting there with it's stack hidden! The only thing happening is the animated gif is spinning. Do animated gif's really use that much processor power?? Is there a way to start and stop the animation? If not, I suppose I can just have the app quit when not in use.
