Hi, I'm hitting this quite consistently on Pop!_OS 19.04 in Virtualbox
(Windows 10 host) on Lenovo T460.
Essentially, the CPU usage goes up to 100% for avahi-daemon, and the
strace shows it stuck in a loop, reading/writing to a named pipe, like
so:
poll([{fd=6, events=POLLIN}, {fd=14, events=POLLIN}, {fd=13, events=POLLIN},
{fd=12, events=POLLIN}, {fd=11, events=POLLIN}, {fd=10, events=POLLIN}, {fd=3,
events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN}], 8, 0) = 3 ([{fd=14,
revents=POLLIN|POLLERR}, {fd=12, revents=POLLIN}, {fd=10, revents=POLLIN}])
write(7, "W", 1) = 1
write(7, "W", 1) = 1
read(6, "WW", 10) = 2
poll([{fd=6, events=POLLIN}, {fd=14, events=POLLIN}, {fd=13, events=POLLIN},
{fd=12, events=POLLIN}, {fd=11, events=POLLIN}, {fd=10, events=POLLIN}, {fd=3,
events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN}], 8, 0) = 3 ([{fd=14,
revents=POLLIN|POLLERR}, {fd=12, revents=POLLIN}, {fd=10, revents=POLLIN}])
write(7, "W", 1) = 1
write(7, "W", 1) = 1
write(7, "W", 1) = 1
write(7, "W", 1) = 1
read(6, "WWWW", 10) = 4
poll([{fd=6, events=POLLIN}, {fd=14, events=POLLIN}, {fd=13, events=POLLIN},
{fd=12, events=POLLIN}, {fd=11, events=POLLIN}, {fd=10, events=POLLIN}, {fd=3,
events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN}], 8, 0) = 3 ([{fd=14,
revents=POLLIN|POLLERR}, {fd=12, revents=POLLIN}, {fd=10, revents=POLLIN}])

My avahi config is:

The journal log is overgrown with messages like so: (I've replaced parts of the
ipv6 addresses with XXXX)

I've managed to gather the 'perf' data, that was requested by lathiat.
Let me know if this info is of use.
