Both revisions (trunk, 0.48.x) had been by Jon Cruz, to address bug #734981:

Revision 10244:
Queue swatch updates during periods of high UI usage, such as dragging gradient handles. Fixes bug #734981.

Backport of UI performance fix.

@Jon Cruz - subscribing you to this report: any chance you could revisit the changes in revision 10244 and review the proposed workaround to avoid this CPU load on certain Windows systems (not all seem to be affected)?
