How long does it generally take?  Do you notice the resource consumption
quickly in the system monitor?

Ah, sorry.  In most of Windows animated cursors and icons are essentially
identical, there's just a flag that says "this is an icon" and that's all that
makes them different.  However, that is not the case with the system tray icons
- these icons are really a series of static icons that the application must
manually select in order to make the icon animate.
