Hello,

Yesterday I faced that issue. I had Shell (for first time) to go quite slow
consuming 25-35 CPU from time to time. I didn't do any updates or anything.
It just happened from nowhere.
The issue was fixed after disabling all the extensions. As I had around 15
ext enabled, it was impossible to find which one was causing the problem.

The outcome? I am currently extension-less :) ..Eventually I will enable
back some, but not all of them.
