Skype - Resource hog?

[Jack Tripper]

I used Skype on my PC but stopped because it was such as resource hog. I think it's because it uses your computers to help process its calls.

Does the current Skype app do the same thing to the iPad in terms of taking up a lot of memory/CPU resources, even when you're not in the app?

There is no Skype iPad app. The iPhone version that on the phone is a real battery dryer, works ok on the iPad
