Steam Tray Icon’s rampant CPU usage

Its very rare that I boot into Windows XP, but when I do the computer is extremely unresponsive for a good minute or so after login. There is no hard disk activity and no response from clicking anything, even the Start menu.

Since I don't use Windows much at all, the XP install is very clean, and usually has most updates installed except SP3. In the past I put this startup lag down to Windows, but in actual fact it was Steam, as the screenshot below shows. I have since disabled the Steam Tray icon.
