allthough I know for sure that's not true.

A good ref is audio/ices. This takes roughly 30% CPU all the time on 4.9. J=

installed it on this box and load is the same (never below 40%), it has pri=

132, TIME shows more or less the time it's running - but no WCPU/CPU values=
,=20
even in RUN state (it's mostly in select).

The system shows:
