When trying to use skype with Win8 RP after entering the password it would just sit there with the spinning circle.
Cpu usage was ~30%.

This new version is working.

Today we have released a hotfix to the Skype 5.9 for Windows.

The newly released build resolves an issue which made Skype to use excess amount of system resources on the Windows 8 Release Preview, build 8400.

We would recommend for everyone to upgrade to the latest version.

Full release notes for the Skype 5.9.0.123 are:
