This is one of the most stupid test I ever encountered. It seems this sort of things happens when you have no clue about the technology you are talking about.
Just imagine the famous Road Runner. This benchmark is about measuring how fast is the animal below:
Yeah, indeed, this is not a Road Runner.

I still don't know why but many GTK+ applications use something called eggtrayicon. As far as I know, eggtrayicon.c is a file written in 2002 by Anders Carlsson which implements the Freedesktop.org system tray procotol for GTK+ applications.
Problem is that this C file is used in dozens of programs and maybe more, and is a bit bugged. I've already send patches for mail-notification and Audacious. pidgin is the first fixed implementation I found and works quite well. Many other applications are probably affected.
That seems to me like a real problem. Multiple copy of bad code instead of using native GTK+ system tray implementation.
So please stop using this bad implementation…
