I use Skype for messaging only.

But it is consuming some real CPU time when idle.

I would like to limit the Skype process' CPU usage.

Can it be done?

I am using Linux Mint 17.2.

Update (2018)

This library worked for an old Skype (<= 4.3). It will not work with modern Skype for Linux. But it does not have to anyway, I do not see excessive CPU usage anymore.

Original answer

Skype poll fix addresses this specific issue.

It prevents Skype from frantically polling so often.
