I never noticed the issue on my DX or Bionic, but Watchdog Lite has been popping up a few times a day saying that Amazon Appstore is over the CPU threshold. I know I get popups a few times a day for new apps and updates (I try and get the free app everyday), but hitting the 40% CPU threshold I have set as an alert is pretty bad. Has anyone else noticed this?

I have had issues where the App tries to download an app but I lose connection. This causes the App to use a bunch of battery and the phone gets really hot. I power off the phone and power back on and that seems to reset whatever was wrong with the App. I dont think I have every had Watchdog tell the Amazon Appstore was using too much CPU. I have the full version of watchdog.
