I was having some issues with Beta 5 where the task bars became unresponsive a couple of times today. I checked the Troubleshooting section of the settings and under the process Manager section there are hundreds of entries like below. Why is it looking at Skype so much (it's not even running), and is this an issue?

From that info, it looks like you might have the Skype toolbar enabled in your web browser. However, that shouldn't be affecting the performance of the taskbar.
As a test though, could you try disabling the Skype toolbar to see if it makes any difference?
Thanks!
