No. MN never holds the GDK lock for a long time, nor while performing a blocking operation (such as name resolution). If it did, the UI would block, which is something the MN multi-threaded design is meant to avoid.

And even if some bug caused a thread to wait for the GDK lock for longer than intended, it would not cause high CPU usage since the GDK lock is a sleep lock, not a spin lock.
