google-contacts-client eats CPU cycles
I'm running on 1.1.6.27 and I noticed that battery has started to run out rapidly. I checked memory and CPU consumption with Memory app. and noticed that although there are no apps open other than Memory, battery level keeps decreasing. When I check the RAM consumption I notice that google-contacts-client eats approx. 45MB RAM and consumes almost 82% of CPU.
I don't know how to stop this process other than restarting the device (when it probably restarts). In my google-imported contacts I have several connections with tens or even hundreds of duplicates. Perhaps the two things are somehow related.
Feature request-part of this message is to automatically remove complete duplicates from contact list.
Restarting didn't help; after restart google-contacts-client consumes over 92% of CPU. No wonder my battery gets warm during the day :-(

This appeared after the latest update. hopefully some of the developers get this and get it fixed since the battery lasts now about half a day without any real use.
