Hmm.  "displayStats" itself is largely calls to gtk+ (which is of course not 
compiled with -pg, so we don't see anything inside there).  Just as a hunch 
(I'm not even sure that it would do anything), have you considered closing 
the stats (that's the download progress) window?  Maybe the UI updates are 
what kill your CPU (now, one question is how much of that update code would 
still happen with that window being closed). However, all of that does not 
explain why gnunet-download takes so much CPU.  Very strange.

Do you have similar data for gnunet-download?
