Have you tried using the SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy options in the pidgin
settings instead of running it through tsocks?

Title:
  sucks up 100% of CPU when started via tsocks

Status in pidgin package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  random.ircd.de apparently requires a German IP so I use tsocks to
  reroute my traffic.  "tsocks pidgin" then indeed logs me in
  successfully but consumes 100% of CPU and input is sluggish (pidgin
  consumes the CPU cycles, not tsocks)

  $ dpkg -l pid*
