Comment 6 for bug 284229

It's not using a lot of cpu yet, but it's up to an average of 3% now, 1.8 cpu-seconds per minute on average.

From the strace and the way top keeps showing 0% cpu I would say it uses all those cpu-seconds are used in the beginning of the minute... yep.

Can't see anything special in the strace, but here you go... it's run at the same time as the top-b above.
