Skype keeps cutting out and using a high % of my CPU?

[MacNoobGuy]

Hi all, I'm running a mac mini mid 2011 with Skype. I've been using Skype for over a year but only today have I had an issue with it. Whenever I'm in a call on Skype my mac starts to run kinda slow and my call keeps cutting in and out. It feels like Skype is using too much of my CPU, but I don't know what I can do to fix it.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks!

I had the same issue on the latest version of skype, which updated a week or 2 ago. I had to revert back to an older version to get skype working properly. Hopefully they fix this
