• Type: Bug

Description

(Sample project archive + .bat script attached.)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new AIR Project
2. Set an empty listener function for the invoke event of the WindowedApplication object
3. Compile the AIR project and install it
4. Launch the application, then use a script to run it every 2 seconds (with or without arguments)

Actual Results:
CPU load slowly increase (10% CPU on my Dual Core 2 Duo within 2 hours) and won't go down even if you stop the script.
Same issue on Windows XP Professional (using AIR 1.5) and Linux Slackware 12.1 (using ADL from the AIR 1.5 SDK).

Expected Results:
Constant CPU usage.

Workaround (if any):
None

My company works on an AIR application we need to control using the command line.
This application has to run during at least 1 day, which seems pretty difficult with this issue (the hardware is far less powerful than a Core 2 Duo, and we reach 90% CPU usage in less than 5 hours with invocation about every 8 seconds)
